Yes, but its Dune. The BG are as “good” as the good guys get.
Their Reverend mothers are all batshit crazy. The minute they get access to other memory they experience thousands of lifetimes of rape, war, and murder. Their only goal is to stop mankind from doing it. Everything they do is based on this. You go the whole Dune series thinking the BG are up to some nefarious scheme, when they are really just trying to get men to calm their asses down.
You could say the original Caladan members of the Atriedes Household were kind of the good guys, but the books used them as the victims. Even the Atriedes did some dark stuff, they just made it sound heroic.
I think the point of the meme is being missed here. The point is that Dune has no good guys. They’re all horrible people. Some of them have have good intentions but do horrific things to get there, such as the Bene Gesserit. None of them can be argued to be good people or even really close to it, that’s why the computer just self-destructs instantly. It’s a question without an answer.
