WESTOXIFICATION — [Noun] The uncritical adoption of Western lifestyles and technologies without embracing foundational Western values like equality or individualism. A blend of "West" and "toxification"; calque of Iranian Persian غربزدگی (ġarb-zadegi, "West-struck-ness"), coined by Ahmad Fardid and popularized by Jalal Al-e-Ahmad. Unlike "Westernization" (which implies organic synthesis) or "modernization" (a neutral march of progress), westoxification is a diagnosis of cultural anemia—the hollow mimicry of surfaces without their sustaining philosophies. It is the neon glare of a fast-food sign in a city where women still cannot drive, the pirated Hollywood blockbuster playing in a village without sewage systems, the designer handbag clutched by a bureaucrat who jails dissidents. A borrowed skin, ill-fitting and rotting at the seams.
