And, of course, the ideal form of ideology of this global capitalism is multiculturalism, the attitude which, from a kind of empty global position, treats each local culture the way the colonizer treats colonized people—as ‘natives’ whose mores are to be carefully studied and ‘respected’. That is to say, the relationship between traditional imperialist colonialism and global capitalist self-colonization is exactly the same as the relationship between Western cultural imperialism and multiculturalism: in the same way that global capitalism involves the paradox of colonization without the colonizing Nation-State metropole, multiculturalism involves patronizing Eurocentrist distance and/or respect for local cultures without roots in one’s own particular culture. In other words, multiculturalism is a disavowed, inverted, self-referential form of racism, a ‘racism with a distance’—it ‘respects’ the Other’s identity, conceiving the Other as a self-enclosed ‘authentic’ community towards which he, the multiculturalist, maintains a distance rendered possible by his privileged universal position. Multiculturalism is a racism which empties its own position of all positive content (the multiculturalist is not a direct racist, he doesn’t oppose to the Other the particular values of his own culture), but nonetheless retains this position as; the privileged empty point of universality from which one is able to appreciate (and depreciate) properly other particular cultures—the multiculturalist respect for the Other’s specificity is the very form of asserting one’s; own superiority.- Slavoj Zizek, "Multiculturalism, or, the Cultural Logic of Multinational Capitalism"
Diverse interests are created that view each other as greater enemies than they do foreign threats. Since the common civilizational enemy has been successfully repulsed, it can no longer serve as an effective target for and outlet of people’s sense of superiority, and human psychology generally requires an adversary for the purpose of self-identification, and so a new adversary is crafted: other people in the same civilization. Since this condition of leisure and empowerment, as well as a perception of external threats as non-existential, are the results of a society’s success, success is, ironically, a prerequisite for a society’s self-hatred. What Freud has called the “narcissism of small differences” (in Civilization and Its Discontents)—the urge to compete against others even through minor distinctions like a virtuous action or the newest gadget—becomes one motivation through which a particular interest expresses its superiority over others.-Benedict Beckeld, "Oikophobia: Our Western Self-Hatred"

Who INFECTED us with "OIKOPHOBIA?" Where did it come from?
I'll TELL you in no uncertain terms:
It CAME from the ceaseless machinations of CULTURAL MAXISTS –– a powerful anti-CHRIStIAN, anti-CAPITALIST invention by the JEWISH INTELLECTUALS of the Franfkfurt School, who STOLE the idea of sugar-coating Bolshevism from the bitter, satanic ITALIAN dissident and evil genous ANTONIO GRAMSCI.
But ii was The ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT J_E_W_I_S_H FANKFURT SCHOOL that succeeded n FOISTING these evil, insidiously destructive doctrines on the naive, gullible, unsuspecting American Public.
Did they inflict it upon the Romans, too?
It's human nature to want to "feel" superior to "others", and in the complex network of social relations, being able to "distance" ones-self from other (including one's peers) necessitates being able, like Ariadne @ Naxos, to abandon your cultural lover (Theseus), and take up with a new and wilder Dionysus...
Did they inflict it upon the Romans, too?
ROFLOL!

“And do you know what “the world” is to me? Shall I show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end; a firm, iron magnitude of force that does not grow bigger or smaller, that does not expend itself but only transforms itself; as a whole, of unalterable size, a household without expenses or losses, but likewise without increase or income; enclosed by “nothingness” as by a boundary; not something blurry or wasted, not something endlessly extended, but set in a definite space as a definite force, and not a space that might be “empty” here or there, but rather as force throughout, as a play of forces and waves of forces, at the same time one and many, increasing here and at the same time decreasing there; a sea of forces flowing and rushing together, eternally changing, eternally flooding back, with tremendous years of recurrence, with an ebb and a flood of its forms; out of the simplest forms striving toward the most complex, out of the stillest, most rigid, coldest forms striving toward the hottest, most turbulent, most self-contradictory, and then again returning home to the simple out of this abundance, out of the play of contradictions back to the joy of concord, still affirming itself in this uniformity of its courses and its years, blessing itself as that which must return eternally, as a becoming that knows no satiety, no disgust, no weariness: this, my Dionysian world of the eternally self- creating, the eternally self-destroying, this mystery world of the twofold voluptuous delight, my “beyond good and evil,” without goal, unless the joy of the circle is itself a goal; without will, unless a ring feels good will toward itself— do you want a name for this world? A solution for all of its riddles? A light for you, too, you best-concealed, strongest, most intrepid, most midnightly men?— This world is the will to power—and nothing besides! And you yourselves are also this will to power—and nothing besides!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, "The Will to Power"
Your question about "The Romans" is irrelevant, Farmer, because:
A. Christianity was nascent at the time and had not yet been established.
B. "Western Civiization," as we once knew it, which is certainly BASED on Chrstian Doctrine had not yet emerged.
C. The information I provided about the worldview, and perniciouus influence of The Frankfurt School is entirely factual, and very well documented, though you hv to dig for it, because it's Politically Incorrect to contemplate. Of course other factors were brought to bear in fomenting the unmitigated DISASTER that was the twentieth-Century
D. The pahologial fear of being labelled an "ANTI-SEMITE" or a "RACIST" that has been instilled in us –– thanks to Hitler's hideous, frankly insane, utterly counter-productive Overreach –– has made us willfully blind to ANYTHING the least bit unpleasant, unflattering or genuinely negative about the influence Jews have had on Western Civilization –– PARTICULARLY since World War Two, but the roots go back much farther and much deeper than that.
I happen to know that The Talmud reveals a deep and abiding HATRED of what the Jews have wrongly imagined Jesus Christ to be, and the religion that bears His Holy name by Jewish scholars for many centuries.
And yes i DO realize that much of that is probably a reflection of the ignorance and stupidity of illterate peasants and unscrupulous so-called "Christian" leaders who deliberately "fed" this resentment, primarily because it helped these bad leaders to gain and hold greater and greater power over the the masses.
SO, though I could never deny that many negative, highly undesirable forces were at work in society in the twentieth century [Aren't there ALWAYS?] I believe that for whatever reason Jewish Intellectuals and Political Leaders in the Jewish sector have a pronounced tendency to EXPLOIT the human frailties they rightly perceive in Others to the distinct, decided advantage of the Jews whenever and wherever possible.
This may be "natural," and "perfectly understandable," BUT there's no denying it works to the distinct DISADVANTAGE of BOTH sides of JEWISH-CHRISTIAN CONFLICT, and of the world in general. In fact it's nothing less than TRAGIC.
Turning a blind eye to REALIY, just because it's "unpleasant," ain't gonna help NOBODY –– no way, no how, no time

...one "negates" the other".
All I'm saying is that humanities Will to Power can be reduced to a cycle driven by a perception of objective (vs. subjective) "distance" and corresponding "feeling" of intellectual superiority that the "negation" of the established order grants the negator.
...and Jews hate Christians just as Classical Liberals hate Marxists. It's all "feelings" derived by humanities need to "feel" intellectually superior/more powerful than one's neighbor, and not love for one's neighbor. Loves accepts differences and is not threatened by them.
Agape. Agape is a Greco-Christian term referring to love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God". The word is not to be confused with philia, brotherly love, or philautia, self-love, as it embraces a universal, unconditional love that transcends and persists regardless of circumstance. It goes beyond just the emotions to the extent of seeking the best for others. The noun form first occurs in the Septuagint, but the verb form goes as far back as Homer, translated literally as affection, as in "greet with affection" and "show affection for the dead". Other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to eros.
“Those who feel ‘I possess Truth,’ [say]— how many possessions would they not abandon in order to save this feeling! What would they not throw overboard to stay ‘on top’ — which means, above the others who lack ‘the Truth’!” - Nietzsche
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not LOVE, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not LOVE, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.
LOVE suffereth long, and is kind; LOVE envieth not; LOVE vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
~ St. Paul, First Corinthians 13 - KJV.
