@HourOfDecision777 ....but infesting worms or deep-sea unnamabilities. They -or the degenerate gelatinous fermentation of which they were composed- seem’d to ooze, seep and trickle thro’ the gaping cracks in the horrible houses… and I thought of some avenue of Cyclopean and unwholesome vats, crammed to the vomiting-point with gangrenous vileness, and about to burst and innundate the world in one leprous cataclysm of semi-fluid rottenness.” (second part of NYC quote).

@CesaristChannel Lovecraft on NYC: “The organic things -Italo-Semitico-Mongoloid- inhabiting that awful cesspool could not by any stretch of the imagination be call’d human. They were monstrous and nebulous adumbrations of the pithecanthropoid and amoebal; vaguely moulded from some stinking viscous slime of earth’s corruption, and slithering and oozing in and on the filthy streets or in and out of windows and doorways in a fashion suggestive of nothing....CONT.
What is the audio track on this video? I like it and I would like to buy the track.

"La Mort Notre Alliee" by Dernière Volonté. The song is featured on the album "Commandements."

Okay, I'm more than convinced now. Those are very interesting sources you brought. I've only really read Call of Cthulhu, which doesn't outline his racial views very much. I'm actually surprised libtards haven't pulled him apart for his racialism yet. Literary quality stomps racial views, I guess, so Lovecraft will never be condemned for his racial beliefs. At least, as long as "literary quality" will still mean anything in our highly decadent modern world.

@CesaristChannel Interestingly enough, Lovecraft's biographer - S. T. Joshi - is an Indian-American who has criticized the horror writer's racial views. In fact, Joshi wrote the definitive two-volume Lovecraft biography "I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft" which is 1200 pages in length. Joshi also wrote "H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West" - a work regarding Lovecraft's Spenglerian worldview that you would probably find to be of interest.

I have one problem with this video, which is otherwise great. As far as I'm aware, Lovecraft never referred to mixed people (Mischlinge) as "mongrelized monsters." He was certainly a Saxon racialist, but I think that using the same vocabulary the Nazis used when referring to Lovecraft's racial views is somewhat unfair and inaccurate. Feel free to provide a source to refute my opinion, though.
Other than that, great video!

@CesaristChannel Also, in the video I never stated that Lovecraft literally said mixed race people were mongrelized monsters, but that he thought of them as real-life monsters. All the monsters he created in his stories were inspired by the real horrors of miscegenation (as I have provided ample evidence for here in my responses).. If Lovecraft had no problem throwing the word "Nigger" around, I doubt he would have considered "mongrelized monsters" to be a lowbrow archaic phrase.
