    H.P Lovecraft was also a racist socialist. What a weird way to live. “I believe in economic equality, but not racial equality.”

        That could be. I don’t know a whole lot about him. I didn’t know either of those things about him until I got a collection of his stories and those bits of info were in the preface.

        I mean its midcentury western socdem but Scandanivian governments did forced sterilization programs on disabled population and other genocidal shit to Sami and other various indigenous people. Some segregated trade unions in the US also come to mind.

      I think Lovecraft also wrote letters later referring to his earlier self as a cringy dip shit, but it was a little ambiguous as to what he was referring to, as I recall.
