They want to throw great American writers on the trash heap with our statues and monuments. Right now, it's allegedly because of his written words; very soon, writers will be removed simply for being white. Arguably the greatest American writer, Mark Twain is being rewritten or removed from the classroom. We're being programmed to believe that things that are "offensive" to some people must be removed for the good of all.

Now you know how we entities feel! Do you have any idea how many of our idols for the Old Ones have been destroyed?! How many editions of the Necronomicon have been burned and shut away?! Our culture was destroyed first, just because we weren't bio-normative life forms!
I disagree that Mark Twain is being removed just because he was white, that's such a Homo-sapien perspective to have. He is being removed because he told too many humans the truth with his Mysterious Stranger story. Privileged, self-absorbed humans don't like to be told that they don't actually exist, and that consciousness is a social construct.

Yet you expect us humans to be able to pronounce the words that provide you with life. We're like monkeys on typewriters here. It may be several more aeons before someone accidentally recites the incantations properly...and odds are, he'll draw up something that will wreak havoc on all the greater and lesser beings in the universe, and no one will be able to put it down.

There was nothing wrong with Lovecraft's response toward immigrants from the Middle East and niggers. It was a natural response that was shared by almost all whites. Lovecraft just reacted more strongly than most. He was a very tolerant person. He had Jew friends, and he married a Jewess, even though he knew the Jew and wrote about Jews honestly. Most of the attacks on Lovecraft we see today come from Jews, or their pets.
