Thank you for your political applause light. You just posted it on a wrong website.

Speaking for myself, I cannot really dispute whether "Cthulhu swims left" before I see a meaningful explanation of what that means.

My attempt to steelman this could be something like: "when people advance economically, they usually move from farmer values to forager values; and in the recent centuries most of the planet is improving economically". But I feel this translation is unsatisfactory, because it does not contain all those connotations of the original version -- all the feelings of evil conspiracy and the heroic resistance against the inevitable doom -- in other words, what gets lost in the translation is exactly the part that makes it so emotionally meaningful for some people.

I could give you an example about how Eastern Europe once used to be full of communist regimes, and then suddenly it was not. But I am sure you can redefine "Cthulhu" to make this example irrelevant, or find some other excuse.
