The Causes Of And Treatment For America’s Self-Loathing
By M. E. Boyd
By analogy, it appears that many Americans may be suffering from a parasitic disease called Oikophobia (from the Greek “oikos” meaning “home”), that presents itself as a loathing of one’s own culture. There is no treatment. Individuals suffering from this do not know they have it; symptoms obvious to observers are oblivious to the stricken. This disease may or may not be associated with Xenophilia—a preference for another culture over one’s own.
Here is what the disease looks like in America from the outside: persons with supportive and loving families, living in lovely homes in safe and friendly neighborhoods, with all material and comforting goods needed or wanted, and plenty to eat, going berserk. They were given the money for college degrees by caring parents, have good jobs or excellent retirements, libraries close to home, and access to a myriad of cultural and environmental enrichments.
And yet these persons, afflicted with Oikophobia, loathe the culture responsible for this existence. Out of their mouths comes such filth, such accusations against their country, such hyperbole regarding what one is owed them by society, that their physical appearances can become unrecognizable, as the parasite manipulates their behavior for its own purposes. When one sees middle-class persons with tight, merciless faces, weapons in hand, physically imposing their bodies in dangerous ways, or squinting in close shots in videotaped tirades of spittle and venom, the logical conclusion is that they suffer from this dangerous and ultimately fatal disease.
