Yup, there it is.

You don’t have to put a lot of effort into the impeachment; there’s plenty of fuel for it right now. We just want to maybe see a little bit of consequences. Just a bit. Ideally a lot, but so far we haven’t seen any at all and it’s making us very, very, VERY disillusioned, and tired, and angry.

I hope things turn around for them.

But only because it would be a result of better conditions overall.

In contrast, I have zero sympathy for them.

Buddy, if I were given a choice, I would have welcomed you to Alligator Alcatraz instead. Where’s ICE when you need them?

(/s of course, ICE should be shut down along with all the concentration camps)

With how immigration is in the USA these days, one can only hope he gets stopped at the border.

Yeah, that’s why I had to take the online safety course again.

It wouldn’t have been able to do much to my computer though, if it really was a suspicious site.

I failed one of those because I have script blockers on my browser and I wanted to see what the scam was.

For a while, Paul was set on preventing the jihad; he could see enough of the future to know that it dominated many of his possible futures, but still had hope that he could navigate a path that avoided it.

Eventually, however, the cruelty of those in power - and apparently becoming a target of the Emperor himself - caused Paul to give up on that goal, and resign himself to his fate of being the rallying point of the jihad. Whether or not his foresight was dominated by the visions of the wars to come was because of this decision is an exercise for the reader. Probably, though; Paul failed to take into account how the future would shape his psyche. Originally he seemed to think that the jihad would happen against his will.

As for the BG, they expected the Kwisatz Haderach to be one of their own, raised by them and shaped to cement their power. Again, it was circumstance that turned Paul against them. Although he had been trained by Jessica, and tested by the Reverend Mother, he was only barely on the verge of being able to fulfill the criteria they needed. Their expected KH was supposed to happen later, in a more controlled environment. Instead, he came into his power unexpectedly on Arrakis, and he suffered so much due to the machinations of the great houses and, by extension, the BG themselves that there was no controlling him.

Isn’t that Python’s whole paradigm?
