Oikophobia

And the name of my book is Our Sickness, because the sickness is ours.

And our sickness is what Roger Scruton called, named, oikophobia.

We hate ourselves.

So if we hate ourselves, and we have fitted ourselves with this idea that hating our civilization makes us clever and intelligent and we have fitted us with this and radical leftists and leftists in general they do this all the time if you are in a lefted circle then you find yourself intelligent only if you criticize strongly your civilization you say that the west is bad and there is patriarchy and capitalism is bad all this stuff okay but this is a sickness and it's rude its roots are very deep in our history and i have tried i've tried to trace them back to the literature and history and revolutions and john milton and the hero that changes well the point is i think it's all a matter of heroism different heroes in the past the western civilizations followed a model of hero that was a hero that fought for great values and sacrificed himself for the system nowadays we follow a hero that is uh heroic just because it fights against the system and the system is always bad if you just watch what the platforms broadcast or if you listen to the text of the lyrics of the songs that is what we use to feed we what we uh how we feed our young people so how can we how can we then be surprised if we see what is happening in France, for example, where young people are allied, French young people, many French young people are allied with foreign people, second, third generation of foreign people that still consider themselves foreign, so they are not French, they are not European, and they want to fight against the system, and their ally is These young people feed it with the hate for themselves.

What's that term

again? Oikophobia.

Yeah, Benedict Beckhold, I had on my podcast, wrote a book on this.

So it's, if we think of two extremes and in late, in sort of decadent societies, because a lot of this has happened before, even though modernity is new, the sort of period of decline of civilization we're in has happened before.
