It's just a thing people nowadays like to say.

He was autistic or had some other personality/mental disorder. He couldn't handle anyone different from him and projected that into his horror fiction.
>In the matter of politics—I don’t go much with the younger crowd. I’m more interested in keeping the present 300-year-old culture-germ in America unharmed, than in trying out any experiments in “social justice”. [Al] Smith, to my mind, is a direct exponent of the newer-immigration element—the decadent & unassimilable hordes from Southern Europe & the East whose presence in large numbers is a direct & profound menace to the continued growth of the Nordic-American nation we know. Some people may like the idea of a mongrel America like the late Roman Empire, but I for one prefer to die in the same America that I was born in. Therefore, I’m against any candidate who talks of letting down the bars to stunted brachycephalic South-Italians & rat-faced half-Mongoloid Russian & Polish Jews, & all that cursed scum! You in the Middle West can’t conceive of the extent of the menace. You ought to see a typical Eastern city crowd—swart, aberrant physiognomies, & gestures & jabbering born of alien instincts.

Rightism is a disorder in the context of the present, massively maladaptive in the modern world where everything is hyper-connected. As the world changes ever further from their Bronze-age idea rightists increasingly feel as if the only solution is to destroy the entire world.

>A large body of research — particularly among people in the United States — has tied religious beliefs with positive outcomes for mental health. For example, a 2005 study of older adults in the San Francisco Bay area found that being religious served as a buffer against depression among people in poorer health, with the highest levels of depression among those who were in poor health and not religious. In addition, a 2013 study found that patients who are being treated for mental-health issues such as depression or anxiety responded better to treatment if they believed in God.

>In another review of 93 studies on religion and health, Dr. Harold G. Koenig, director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University Medical Center, found that more religious people had fewer depressive symptoms.

Look at the results of mass immigration, miscegenation and replacement of culture. Lovecraft just saw ahead.

>Why was he such a hardcore racist?
Someone probably nagged at him that he shouldn't be.

He was only prejudiced against certain races but was ok with others. Also he wasnt the one who named that cat
