PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT
Americans are now long used to riots, of course looting and the burning of cities but in most instances, when they come every couple times per decade they usually involve the grievances of African-Americans.
And these particular riots and the burning of cities, like many times in the past, aided and abetted by the mainstream media and Democratic Party, while they may look similar they aren’t.
They represent a new tribe demanding access to and benefits from a state they are hostile toward, having no connection to that state and no legal right to be there and this is a pattern that goes all the way back to antiquity.
And for anyone paying attention, all of this was understood before it even began, all the way back in ancient Greece in book 8 of his ‘Republic’, Plato explained that the more freedom and equality that is to be found in a society, the more its members will hold themselves above the state.
Oikophobia, in the political sense, refers to a tendency to criticize or reject one’s own culture and institutions, often accompanied by a preference for foreign or “universal” values. It is essentially the opposite of xenophobia, which is fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners. In a psychological context, oikophobia can also describe an irrational fear of one’s home environment.
Oikophobia it’s an idea that I examined years ago but I do now feel that it needs to be revisited and it could be defined as the fear or hatred of one’s own society or civilization and could be presented as the opposite of xenophobia, which is the fear or hatred of foreigners.
The term derives from the Greek word, “oikos”, meaning home or household and oikophobia, it should be said, is not a new phenomenon but one that is recurring throughout history, with its current manifestation in the United States, linked to the nation’s stage of historical decline, similar to that of post-World War II England.
Now, let me explain: As a great power wanes, internal divisions intensify and diverse groups within society, will they view each other as greater threats than external enemies?
This shift occurs because the absence of a unifying external threat leads people to seek adversaries within their own civilization, to assert their own sense of superiority, a concept tied to Freud’s “Narcissism of small differences”, where minor distinctions fuel competition.
In political terms, oikophobia tends to dominate in left-wing or progressive circles, while right-wing or conservative groups may include non-oikophobes or anti-oikophobic reactionaries.
The growing hostility between these factions in the United States, well it reflects a society past its peak, fixated on internal conflicts, which, of course then weaken its cultural, political and social cohesion. None of this is a “paradox”, as you might hear in the mainstream media.
This clash in the United States and the wider West, for that matter is manifest within the dominant group within the country, that being European-Americans, many of who, with the fall of the Soviet Union and having no external threats, well they have turned against the core of their own society and believe that by helping deconstruct it, well that somehow makes them more “moral” than those that wish to preserve it.
And given the rapid, rapid demographic transformation of the country and now, the undeniable shift, in where the country is headed, under the current Zeitgeist, I believe that many of those that have for decades believed themselves to be more “moral” than their fellow countrymen, through their hatred of all things American are beginning to reflect upon the harvest of their social discontent.
