Today, I have decided to change my habit of playing computer games, to listening to audio books and to reading books. Computer games gave me fake excitement and pleasure, but the true happiness comes from listening and reading to books, such as the one in this video.
I have recently done the same thing. I've decided to educate myself on a lot of topics and I also want to have a deeper appreciation of Lovecraft's writings and style. This work in particular I felt was too tragic. American civil war's have always been there, plus wars towards other countries in general. It's these dark moments of the USA that Lovecraft portrays in such a poetic way, and I'm not even an american myself. As for videogames themselves, they can be seen as works of art sometimes, depending on the game. Of course, there are many classics nowadays that will always be remembered for what they are, but I'd argue they can't get as deep and rich in themes as a book might do.
Thank you for uploading this one. I am new to Lovecraft's work and this is my second day of binging on his stories. So far this is one of the best I have heard so far. His talent to entirely draw a reader into a tale is spellbinding!
Look at the pyramids (one group of people), the chinese dynasties (one group of people), the rennaissance (one group of people), the industrial revolution (one group of people). Diversity, aka globalism, is fairly new principle to humankind, and it already got us two world wars. Good luck with it.
Profound. If the people inhabiting a place changes, the environment changes with it, for better or worse. Look up the gumball experiment. Ireland with 10% ethnic Irish population is no longer Ireland. Predicted cultural decline and the behavioral sink. Likewise, the shorter a person's genealogical tree dates back to living in the area they now inhabit, the less they are likely to respect the land, the culture, and the physical architecture. In the 1800s the Irish people were living in the same place their ancestors lived for thousands of years and had a sense of belonging and literal part of the land and its history. That's beautiful to want. With globalism, nobody belongs anywhere, everyones tree is comprised of nomads, very sad. All Western nations have the same basic blend pattern, or that's the goal. The bolshevik refugees put on the Street (who were white), kept the dumb ideals that created the mess they were fleeing from in the first place and injected America with its first doses of communism like a virus, creating the Red Decade.
@@edennis3202 I mean, ok. You can feel free to join Lovecraft in his literally one-hundred-year-old ideology, from a time when Jim Crow was still the law, mercenary strikebreakers were murdering union leaders, and Debs was being imprisoned for opposing the draft (and being in favor of workers' rights).
@@11kravitzn Absolutely, comrade. You can't listen to fossils like Lovecraft (1890 - 1937). Modern men like Marx (1818 - 1883) and Lenin (1870 - 1924) is where it's at. And Bolsheviks would _never_ stop unions from organizing, punish political dissidents or treat anyone as a second-class citizen, right?
@@11kravitzn Wonder where you learned history? Jim Crow (no 'e') was law where(?), in the South where the Republicans were pretty much forced out after 1877. Strikers were as likely to murder as much as any strike breaker. Dems opposed the draft, really? Wilson, Democrat, started the first post Civil War draft in 1917 and sent thousands of draft resistors to jail along with those opposed the war. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat, started the first peacetime draft in 1940 which lasted till 1970s when Nixon ended the draft.
This is relevant today.
My thoughts as well
Very relevant today. Eerily prescient.
History repeats itself.
Prophetic AF
Oh how I wish the streets spirit lived on today.
a ghost story about a street, brilliant! i liked the way h.p.l put the history of America up until his time into words more poetic than most.
I realized not that HPL was able to see into the future! I am confounded.

You played Multiplayer only? Lots of
Singleplayer games have good stories that can educate you on certain topics and widen your fantasy horizons.

Good stuff.
Lovecraft is eerie in an old fashioned way.
Then and now, diversity is strength!

No strength in diversity.
awesome story

I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing it. c:
I didn't mean for my comment to be spam...it was just a thought I had after hearing this example of art.
The fearful xenophobia is delicious 🤣😂🤣😆🤣
We were warned and they were right.
very nice

I love racism
Even this too shall perish.
Lovecraft was pretty messed up
The story is about Bolsheviks. Lovecraft's story is anti-Bolshevik. I have no problem with that.
