U.S. Election Violence and Oikophobia

The segment of the NTD Television broadcast from October 28, 2020 that contained snippets from an hour-long interview with me about U.S. election violence and oikophobia.
Three brief clarifications:
1. My final statement re. a third party, which is narrated by the journalist, was made in a different context: What I said was that the rise of more major parties, hypothetically, would help stymie political polarization and create an environment where compromise and coalition-building are necessary.
2. The way my lengthy remarks on gun-buying were edited made it sound, perhaps, as if I were equating gun-buying with the extremism of oikophobic violence, which in fact I was not. I strongly support the second amendment.
3. The most important part of the interview, not aired, was the point that when politics is viewed as a moral battle, rather than as the battle of practical diverging interests that it more typically is, violence becomes far likelier.

Unfortunately i think you are right about the situation we are in!

[@BenedictBeckeld]

Yes, history would indicate as much, alas.

With such a serious issue at hand, I would like to lighten things up with a bit of humor. I remember this word by reminding myself that it is not a fear of a popular brand of Greek yogurt.

This hits a little harder today after the death at our Capitol

[@BenedictBeckeld]

Yes indeed. As I said in the interview, I wish I were wrong, but it's almost tragi-comic how quickly such dour predictions prove true.

So, basically, the way I see it, by taking your point of view, is that either way, whoever wins, we are simply fucked. It just the question of how fucked-up our society we’ll be. And I need to take a closer look after all at this oikophobia term because if just to take this video, it is a bit confusing. It sounds like oikophobia is nothing more but a splintering of a society that cannot accept itself any longer as it becomes more diverse in its representation and new societal norms.

Hi, thanks for your comment, and sorry for my late reply; I only saw it just now. To get a better idea of oikophobia as a general concept, you can take a look at my video called "Oikophobia: Our Western Self-Hatred", also on this channel. Be well!
