*In response to a poster saying that he had never met self-hating Europeans*

They won't directly say it. But there are tell-tale signs for the disease I call oikophobia.

- They dismiss, as in this thread, the achievements of Europeans as luck at best and ruthless thievery at worst;
- They take a position of dogmatic denial in any issue of race and intelligence, and will dogmatically deny rather than investigate any of it;
- They repeat the tropes that were taught in Western European state schools in the past fifty years ("Islam is pro-science", "Islam is tolerant", "all cultures are equal", "reality has a liberal bias")

I suppose what I'm trying to say here is that they are not critical, or curious, but dogmatic. They adhere to one position because they have been socialised or conditioned to adhere to that one position and dismiss all others. Those people exist on both sides, but with the state education of the past fifty years the dogmatic self-hater has become a lot more common.
