Samurai caused Meiji reformations in the first place, and funnily enough, when they get what they wanted, they felt shafted and rebelled - literally the same people.
Because the ruling class ideas are the ruling ideas, they control education, public spaces and media (and also the repression apparatus in case the former is insufficient). It's not about the sense of self preservation, we are not so different than ancient or medieval commoners who found questioning the divine rights of kings to own everything, a crazy idea.
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.
Actually only 2 books are follow ups, 3 are in between of Dune and Messiah and rest are prequels, plus iirc one book of stories, that one about Gurney was quite fun. One book per year is nothing out of ordinary nowadays, that's how the publishing houses crunch authors, hell even for example Terry Pratchett was churning 1-4 books per year for most of his career. Also idk how they are dividing the work, but i would imagine most of actual writing is done by Kevin Anderson since he was a real deal crunch writer even before starting cooperation with Brian, there's two of them.
Oh and also look for the 3 volumes graphical novel of first Dune book by Raul Allen and Patricia Martin. It was directed by Brian and it is seriously the most faithful adaptation of the book ever made.
Yes, though the level is very varying, Houses and Great Schools trilogies being quite good imo while the Heroes trilogy is, mildly speaking, bad.
There's also the Butlerian Jihad trilogy which flatten the forming event of entire setting from complicated philosophical and military conflict in which bad guys won and crippled humanity for possibly forever into an ordinary survival war against Skynet.
Or the Caladan trilogy which is honestly quite good but while it ends when the orginal Dune starts, somehow it ends up with political situation being 180 from what it should be for the original plot to happen.
And finally, there is of course the two book ending of the original cycle, which i read many times and now i'm convinced Brian didn't lie about finding the Frank stash, the books are way more similar to the original Dune books 5-6 than to rest of Brian's books (this isn't much of a compliment btw, i consider Heretics and Chapterhouse the weakest parts of original).
It does because whiteness is a social construct, Slavs were never considered white by anglos and germans ruling classes, they just get the temporary status when they lick the anglo/german boot and are used as cannon fodder against other Slavs.
Ukraine never had a chance to win militarily, the plan was to strangle Russia by sanctions and it had the chance of succeeding, just the USA intelligence fucked up (not the first not last time, look: Iran) and did not noticed or underestimated Russia efforts to diversify its exports, and global south, mainly China and India, not wanting to be next ones on the US empire chopping block.

Not to mention Isntreal attacked UN "peacekeepers" in Lebanon several times, and of course there was zero reaction.
While the al-qaeda Syrian govt get removed from terrorist list.
Scratch blue state and III Reich bleeds
Liberal revolution be like:
Human neurons? It's not AI then, Adeptus Mechanicus approves.
Zelensky did though, and not only Poland but rest of Europe too.
Yes, and all previous US sanctions on everyone are also economic terrorism and crimes against humanity, without "" "".

Lmao even wiki calls on this "perfect" narrative:

Welcome outside of the US imperial information bubble you lived your entire life in. I hope you read and stay.

Do you have source for the original picture?
Germans call it "Kinder, Kirche, Kuche", with accidental but still apropriate acronym
Probably the classic situation in which not enough evidence is compensated with "enhanced interrogation"
