    Give it about 20.000 years and you can fight in the space-middle-east, also known as Arrakis

      Yeah but by then it’ll just be powerful elites scamming people into fighting for them on made up religious grounds just so they can control the resource that the transportation infrastructure is dependent on.

      It’ll be completely different!

        A lot of people say Star Wars is a blatant rip off of Dune. Yeah, only Lucas skipped just about everything that made Dune relevant.

    The year is 4000, we have stopped climate change and are at early stages of colonising mars, society is post scarcity where most stuff is practically free, housing is affordable now, the middle east is still embroiled in a war to this very day.

      I think if we weren’t so dependent on oil we probably wouldn’t have so many problems though.

      Think of the countries that have a lot of oil that are run by psychopaths: Russia Saudi Arabia Iran Venezuela

      People go around taking sides with some of these countries against other countries as if they’re not a bunch of psychos. Rationalizing why it’s ok for them to be psychos because of ideology or something that happened in the past or whatever. But they are psychos. Something about having that much concentrated wealth turns people into Harkonnens.

        Hey! The US has oil too, and one of our recent leaders is definitely a sociopath

      At that point you put a fence around it and call it historically reenactment.

    Jews: yes, we’ve been here for all these, and we will be here to fight, if we must, in the middle east tomorrow as well. 3500 years and counting. and unless you’ve got a roman legion in that pocket, we ain’t goin anywhere ever again.
