>>78453325iirc the Starks were misled into being suspicious of the Lannisters on all of those points and so everything the Starks did was predicated upon thinking that they the ones acting in self-defense, weren't they? The whole thing being a conspiracy orchestrated by Littlefinger's Jewish scheming, WW1-style?
If you mean to say that the Lannisters were victims of that scheme, then yeah I agree. But the same goes for basically everyone else, including the Starks. So I'd less say the roles are "backwards" so much as that everything turned out to have been one big misdirection
