Lovecraft was clearly a smart and well-read person who was held back by his sheltered upbringing that stunted his development as a person, which tends to cause someone to have cringe reactionary biases since the right is all feels>reals. I think if he had lived a full life he would have almost certainly ended up becoming a full-fledged Marxist of some sort since his late letters indicate that he was reading Marx. It's really a damn shame that he's essentially remembered for having a chvd phase that he had started to get out of. People forget that he had a tragically short life.
there is literally a lovecraft thread on /hobby/
Last century, the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America generally differed greatly from those in Europe and North America; they were often illiterate, malnourished, and had many children, with families having five or six kids and knew nothing about modern science. Even Einstein had a negative opinion of the Chinese. I think that many modern people, if they were to travel back in time, might not have a better view of the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America than those of the last century did. They might even think that white people and darker-skinned people are like two different species, similar to Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
上个世纪亚非拉的人普遍和欧美地区的人“差异甚大”，不识字、营养不良，生育众多，一个家庭有五六个孩子，对现代科学一无所知，甚至爱因斯坦对华人的评价都很负面。我想很多现代人穿越回去对亚非拉人种的评价可能不必上个世纪好，说不定会认为白人和深色人种是类似智人和尼安德特人两个人种
>>1887958I want to read whatever kino he would have written as a response to the horrors of fascism, the holocaust, the destruction of europe in ww2, and the threat of nuclear apocalypse during the cold war
he would have just become a more casual racist, and maybe a mild supporter of fdr and the civil rights era democratic party
