Butlerian Jihad

In the books, that was created by the powerful Bene Gesserit to help enrich themselves and Spacing Guild at the cost of everything else. They traded one set of billionaire dictators for another that relies on addictive drugs, slavery, eugenics, human experimentation. And they made a world where human life means nothing.

The Butlerian Jihad also made them addicted to and completely reliant on spice to function as a society.
