String comment = '>this city of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Old New York as London is of Old London and Paris is of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite dead, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in life.
>the throngs of people that seethed through the flume-like streets were squat, swarthy strangers with hardened faces and narrow eyes, shrewd strangers without dreams and without kinship to the scenes about them, who could never mean aught to a blue-eyed man of the old folk, with the love of fair green lanes and white New England village steeples in his heart.
I understand Lovecraft is meant to be the ultimate chud or whatever, but where is the lie in all of this? It's exactly the same now as it was then, who can deny it? Why would they want to deny it?';

i don't know but when i was a kid reading lovecraft i had mostly seen his stuff through the lens of the epic cthulu D&D adjacent type stuff so in my head he was comparable to shit like wizards of the coast but old timey. so when i read his descriptions of various "squat" people with weird eyes or whatever, i just imagined an entirely made up fantasy race and didn't realize he was just being racist about real people lol. though to be fair he did also make up a bunch of weird fantasy races.';

Seems like he lacked empathy. These people didn't choose their race. Most of them probably lived in poverty and didn't enjoy the neet existence that he had for himself. There is also something a little suspect about someone who gives himself so fully to the disgust derived from appearances and physiognomies without seeing their ephemeral and transcendental nature. In the end, resentment generally feels like the false path to take. Does this make people equal? No, but poeple who ascend to wisdom and higher states of conscioussness will probably find a way to look at the world without flaming rage and resentment.';

Young Lovechud sure had a hard-on for blue-eyed, blonde Anglo-Teutons in spite of being a dark-eyed, dark-haired "untermensch".

No he didn't. That line on wikipedia cites a book but the book itself has no mention of him recanting anything.';
