Theyre trying to do do an Amerikkka.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol)

Opponents of the war have pejoratively called the Z symbol a zwastika.

The 2022 Moscow rally [...] was officially called in Russia "For a world without Nazism" (Russian: «Zа мир без нацизма»), with Latin Z replacing Russian З.

In Moldova, unknown vandals painted the symbols "Z" and "V" over crosses at the World War II Heroes' Cemetery of Chișinău, on graves of soldiers of the Axis-aligned Romania

Forget all the Ukrainian nazi iconography, the Ruzzians are the real Nazis!

Honestly it seems like an arbitrary line, considering that Herbert's story continues for a few more books after that. The first two books could also be considered a good standalone (duology?), since they cover the span of Paul's story.

Really, the only wrong answer is the first book alone. I think most people read only the first book and get the wrong idea.

It's very obviously a pun. The only question is if it was intentional.

I didn't. Re-read my comment; this was purely hypothetical.

As we all know, no one one won either of the World Wars. Being the bloodiest conflicts in history, they are furthest from the possibility of having a victor.

You're supposed to do a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus so you don't get stuck in simple loops.

You can't use one atrocity to justify another, otherwise you're justifying them all. That would be atrocious.

smh making puns at a time like this...

Dead tied, huh? Total standstill? I wonder if the available evidence supports this conclusion.

Because if it didn't, we might have to conclude that you're either propagandized to the point of delusion, or being dishonest.

Yeah, I recently realized how "ick" parts of it are, so idk if I can listen to it and enjoy it anymore. But it was their best album!

I just didn't question it or really think about it, hearing it mentioned made me "hmm...that WAS weird."

Same kinda process with "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" lmao
