As someone who grew up in the gated community of a 98% white New England town I can confidently say that he would be at the very least near suicidal
I mean, even places like that have a vanishing number of WASPs. Imagine seeing the America you identify with's long dead corpse mockingly puppeteered by modern Americans. God

he would hate it. But as a passionate reader i can promise you this: if he had been born in, say, the mid-90s, this is what he would be up to: https://youtu.be/V09MEXUldCc

>Today more than ever, Lovecraft would be a misfit and a recluse. Born in 1890, he appeared already to his contemporaries, in his younger years, an out-of-date reactionary. One can easily guess what he would have thought of today’s society. After his death, it hasn’t stopped evolving in directions that would have made him detest it more than ever. Mechanisation and modernization have ineluctably destroyed the way of life to which he was attached with every fibre of his being (he had, however, no illusions about the possibility of human control over events; as he wrote in a letter, “everything in this modern world is but the absolute and direct consequence of the discovery of the use of steam and electrical energy on a grand scale”). The ideas of liberty and democracy, which he abhorred, have spread over the planet. The idea of progress has become an uncontested credo, almost unconscious, which can only bristle at a man who declares: “What we detest, is simply change in and of itself”. Liberal capitalism has exerted its dominance over consciousness; marching in time with it have been commercialism, advertising, the absurd grinning cult of economic efficiency, the exclusive and immoderate appetite for material riches. Even worse, liberation has reached from the economic to the sexual domain. All sentimental fictions have been shattered into a thousand pieces. Purity, chastity, fidelity, decency, have become ridiculous stigmata. The value of a human being is measured today by his economic efficiency and his erotic potency: so, exactly the two things that Lovecraft hated the most strongly.

Well no, because *brings the mic closer* Every 10 years the make-up of the mongrel race actually completely changes. I was reading this article about how asians can actually advance this process into only taking 6 years because the jews- Niggerman could you get that article up? Yeah but its because asians can actually make your mulatoos rejuvenate faster ... here we go *looks over at the screen* Look at that ... Yeah, that Shoggoth must be what? 400 pounds?
