Not sure it is a good saying. Brett Devereaux covers it in detail in his "fremen mirage" articles which I find a good read.

A strawman argument, which no one is actually saying:

> Second: Consequently, people from these less settled societies are better fighters and more militarily capable than their settled or wealthier neighboring societies.

> Third: That, consequently the poorer, harder people will inevitably overrun and subjugate the richer, more prosperous communities around them.

I prefer real history to science fiction, myself. The 30s were indisputably hard times, but they produced the people who won WW II and went to the moon.

The 30’s (and the bad times before) also produced the people that caused WW2.
