Never new we had hippies in Skyrim. But they don't allow anything to be destroy since they helped you. They called for you.

They felt the presence of a Dragonborn when the Dovahkiin slayed Mirmulnir, and they summoned him to see if their observation proved to be true. And when the Dovahkiin arrives at High Hrothgar, they make many references about how the "return of the Dragons and the appearance of a Dragonborn is not mere coincidence...". They also seek to guide the Dragonborn on the path of achieving enlightenment by Way of the Voice.

However they never explicitly state concern for the return of the Dragons and how they should be stopped. They likely wouldn't lift a finger to help the suffering citizens of Tamriel. The blades however... do care. The Blades don't care in the slightest.
