Oikophobia (noun)
- Ecophobia; fear of a home environment.
- Dislike of one's own culture or compatriots
This is the going thing. For some decades now, the West has become oikophobic; there is no civilization worse than Western Civilization. Indeed, the West has oppressed - and often enslaved - all other civilizations in the world. Thus, the current reversal of fortune with hostile immigrants flooding into Western countries is an appropriate comeuppance. Though the West is entirely capable of preventing this destructive influx, enough of the citizens have embraced oikophobia to not only tollerate it, but to encourage it.
In a video on YouTube, Joomi Kim discussed how this was not the first time that this has happened. In fact, it appears to be a normal feature of powerful civilizations. She starts off with the Ancient Greeks, who had risen to prominence. Alexander the Great had conquered vast territory and left Hellenic dominance behind. However, there arose among the Greeks those who attacked their culture. She mentioned Diogenes in particular. By the time the Romans arrived on the scene, the Greeks had already self-sabotaged. The Romans followed a similar though slower pattern. France ripped itself apart during the French Revolution, handing global dominance to England. Modern England appears to hate its history and seeks to erase the English through mass migration.
After World War II, the United States stepped into England's shoes to become the dominant civilization. The self-hatred soon followed. US History is more often described as one long crime spree rather than the rise of a great and laudable nation. Joomi suggests that the US has, since the 1976, elected presidents who were either committed oikophobes (Carter & Obama) or sympathetic to oikophobia. Only Reagan and Trump have been enthusiastic Americanophiles, which may explain their popularity outside the usual Republican demographics.
Excellent, though somewhat depressing, video. Highly recommended.
