Only superficially. Dune deconstructs the entire heroic archetype. Paul Atreides’ emergence as the hero and leader of the Fremen is completely artificial and engineered for colonialist purposes (so that House Atreides can control the supply of spice with minimal resistance from the population of Arrakis).
The plan backfires, of course, as the Fremen jihad ends up being more successful than they’d anticipated and spreads off-world and out of Paul’s ability to control it.
If you go around being publicly offended for another group because you saw someone wear or eat something YOU think they shouldn’t becuase “That’s not YOUR culture”. Then YOU might be a “White Savior”.
White saviorism is the belief that you understand and know how to address a community and its problems in spite of not having any involvement with or ties to that community because you are white abd educated. Me thinking I can fix Puerto Rico’s issues because Im an educated white guy who has a poli sci degree would be an example of this as my Spanish is trash, I have never been to Puerto Rico, and Im unfamiliar with their history.
Cultural appropriation is utilizing imagery or concepts from a foreign culture. It can be good, bad, weird, or neutral depending on multiple factors.
No, that’s an entirely different thing
A closer example might be the literal plot to Dune

They meant the literal meaning of literal, as in “you took her too literally” not the common meaning of “real” or “actual”

That’s a different thing, you should google these words you’re using.
