  • Genuinely think lovecraft is more redeemable than rowling.

    Lovecraft's work was more connected to his bigotry, but it was horror; the fundamental theme was a display of his weakness and how he sucked. It makes no claim to virtue, and is onevof the best analyses of the mind of a xenophobe that you can read today; metaphorical as it may be.

    Rowling spoke to children, made claims to virtue, and couched her most vile shit in the twee and the benign, turning virulently evil herself as the series went on.

    Edit: which is to say: you shoukd read lovecraft because he was such a piece of shit.

  • It's never about the real past for them. It's about the fake shallow image of the past they yearn for.

    The 50s, yeah, when 'howl' was published and every single adult was on meth qaaludes cocaine and a BAC that would today get you rushed to the ER for just about every waking moment. But thats not what they remember. They get the simplified idealized propaganda version, and like it. Everything is fantasy rp to them.

    Same with the crusades, early america, and everything else they like.

  • Americans tend to overuse conspiracy to mythologize so they can support theirvmasdive cognitive dissonance and/or feel like there's a daddy in control of everything up to and apparentlybincluding the weather. Except tor the handful who are fucking sick if that shit and so used to dismissingbit out of hand.
