actually, no, not a complete disaster. During american prohibition, domestic abuse all but disappeared, same went for a big part of self-harm due to alcohol abuse. It's normal to paint the prohibition as some complete mistake, but it has positive sides too.

And I say that as an enjoyer of alcohol and other fun stuff, disagreeing with banning it again

honestly, if it's forced under the threat of destitution, then fuck that kind of "art"

"Worker's rights suck because only extreme capitalist exploitation can create true art, like the video game I am entitled to play now now noww" - this fool right here

Or maybe people aren't all stupid, and just make vaguely related dune memes that still are a bit humorous? It's not like there are movie adaptations of god emperor of dune.

Also, even disregarding God Emperor, the joke still works, the fremen literally worship sandworms

It's annoying when it's used as an excuse for mindless consumption, rather than a call to abolish capitalism
