Occidentophobia (occident+phobia) is a term first attested in the 20th century.
Paul Cliteur wrote a satirical piece "Over occidentofobie: haat tegen westerse cultuur" in The Post Online on August 02, 2017.
Its subtitle reads: "Nuttige idioten die wij zijn, zijn we gaan denken dat onze eigen cultuur 'relatief' is"
- "Een van de grote problemen van onze tijd, een probleem dat filosofen, politici, intellectuelen en geëngageerde schrijvers van onze tijd zou moeten bezighouden, is de haat jegens de westerse cultuur: de occidentofobie. De westerse cultuur, tot ontwikkeling gekomen in het oude Griekenland, het oude Rome, vermengd met christelijke elementen in de middeleeuwen, tot een herleving gebracht in de renaissance en geseculariseerd in de Verlichting is de bron van democratie, rechtsstaat en mensenrechten. Het is wat wij ‘zijn’. Of waar we ‘vandaan komen’. Het is de voedingsbodem voor de waarden die in grondwetten en verdragen worden uitgedragen. Het is waar onze ‘kernwaarden’ vandaan komen."
The piece was mentioned in Vijf eeuwen migratie: Een verhaal van winnaars en verliezers (2018 by Jan Lucassen, Leo Lucassen
