Benedict Beckeld: When Society Loses Its Identity So Does the Individual

American philosopher Benedict Beckeld discusses the concept of 'oikophobia' or Western self-hatred in an interview, highlighting its historical recurrence when societies become too comfortable. He argues that this trend has intensified post-World War II, leading to a rejection of cultural foundations in the West. Beckeld suggests that while war might temporarily unite societies, a return to traditions through religion and education could be a peaceful solution. He emphasizes the importance of cultural cohesion and warns against the dangers of leftist dominance in education and culture, particularly in Hungary.
