A more apt example would be countries around the world resisting
change and modernity saying that it is a threat to local culture, or
resisting pizzas and jeans (and sex )saying that globalisation is
americanisation or resisting democracy saying that it is a "western"
concept.
Come to think of it, the herd of centaurs looks strikingly similar
to the sheikhdom of Saudi Arabia or the mullahs of Iran.
