The Jihad wasn’t originally even a war, that was some bland Skynet ass shit the author’s son put in. The Jihad was originally a philosophical reckoning of the dependence on machines humanity was developing and a rejection therein. Dune still has computers and technology far advanced compared to what we have but nothing that thinks like a human.
Does Hitler even register on the scale 8000 years later after events like the Butlerian Jihad?
