That I can buy into.

The poor protect what little they have a lot more fiercely than the prosperous. Weak cultures feel under constant threat and scream for protection; strong cultures confidently accept challenges and evolve with them, thereby becoming stronger.
Another way to destroy culture in the name of protecting it; freezing it and stunting it...

As I've said, I am no friend of protectionism, whether economic or cultural.
But then, I don't fear the future; I welcome it.
And I celebrate anybody that expends effort to build it instead of wasting resources trying to delay it. Change is innevitable: you either surf the wave or drown in it.
