   So, unlike the 60s, you have a dynamic in which both sides are behaving like radicals, in which the establishment isn’t yelling “stop,” and in which oikophobia is more evenly distributed, relative to its Boomer-era baseline.

Where it comes from

From Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos) + -phobia. In the political sense, coined in a 1993 journal article by Roger Scruton.
