Not sure how I worded it other than what you have in your sig but elton john had a great song that could allegorically fit the situation.

Burn down the mission, burn it down to stay alive
It’s our only chance of living, take all you need to live inside


One story that goes with the lyrics is that villagers in a mission town were discontented with their lot in life and had begun to despise the missionary/mission who was providing for most of their needs but was unable to keep them warm.

Sure that they were being taken advantage of they burn, burn, burned down the mission to stay warm by the fire.

The leader’s wife ‘cried when they came to take him away!’

Of course they all died of hunger once the mission, that had cared for them for so long was gone.

Basically they burned down the village to save the village, not a good stategy.
