Here's the bit they don't get yet; they think it's win/win, with them either taking over an area of culture or forcing it to "go broke" and fail, and still no longer ours. And, yeah, it sucks for us. But, unlike them, we can actually do the work to create and innovate and build. Disney can fall, and we'll make another company to promote family and hard work. D&D and Magic can go to the landfills of degeneracy, and we'll invent something else to challenge our intellects and creativity.
If they blow up a (cultural) bridge, they think there'll never be a way for us to cross rivers without them. We built the bridges in the first damned place, and can do so again.

They live on an island and blew up the bridges. Then they blame us for the lack of trade.
