Lol you clearly have only seen the movies or read the first book. Paul is definitely not doing the right thing, something he himself clearly states. Also Frank Herbert was woke for a middle to upper class white dude from the 60s so he still had some weird opinions about women but you’ve definitely missed the mark on his feelings about indigenous people. Dune is a satire of Lawrence of Arabia but the satire isnt fully evident without the third part to the story in dune messiah. Paul is a criticism of white saviors generally but specifically he is satire of charismatic leaders who wield their followings for terrible purposes. He sorts the natives shit out right into millions upon millions of them dying for a cause that doesnt really change their day to day lives.
