The same can be said for highway robbery. It happens in my country and people say well it’s just a tax you have to pay for taking that road. Since the victims are businesses handling goods, the robbery fee is priced into imports and we all pay extra. It can’t be priced into exports because we are too negligible of an exporter, so instead workers in that industry are paid less and there is less money left over to invest so our growth lags behind other counties. Overall the whole country suffers, all because of a few thousand bandits sitting in the forest near the border. But hey… our society moved on, so you’re right about that: you can definitely live with it.
