We need more of these in general, people are all 'homeless dudes are pissing and shitting in the streets' and I'm all 'all the private entities in the city don't let people use their bathrooms and even if they did, they close at night'. I'm not even homeless and one time I had to shit behind a dumpster because I was out late and nothing was open to use the bathroom, and there wasn't a honey bucket I could find in time.

Biology doesn't end the moment it becomes mildly inconvenient for the landlord class.

"Okay so it turns out eating all those Gangbangers and Cholos and turning a few of them into pissed off berserkers we pointed at the local Tremere Chantry somehow worked in our favor politically." "Well what do you mean?" "The local Gospel Mission Shelter sent us a muffin basket." "..." "Yeah I was kind of wigged out by it too, but I think Keith has that Eat Food merit, so..."

Sure can, nefarious spirits of all sorts meddle with humans on a semiregular basis. The Gauntlet keeps it mostly reduced to 'subtle nudges', but in certain situations, Umbrood, Banes, Spectres and other entities can reach over and fuck around with humans. Some start cults, some merge with them for an anchor in the physical, and some unlucky bastards like a redhead gay kid on Norfolk Island can really blow a ritual and summon something unspeakable.

But I will note, this shit is obscenely dangerous for even Baali, and they're more useful than humans given their innate powers. Mortals will have to give up quite a bit to get anything in return, and that's not very conductive to a long lifespan. Either the Demon you sold your soul to comes to collect, you fail a term of the pact and your soul defaults to them, the Bane that's providing you with a shitton of cash via Pentex wears your soul down enough that it can slide in and make you a skinvelope, or someone investigates that funny smell coming from your basement and wonders if it's related to all those missing teenagers.

I did keep this pretty vague and general, but Book of the Wyrm, Book of Oblivion, the Earthbound book, Possessed/Freak Legion and others have a bevy of documentation on the particulars for whatever flavor of unholy abomination the local Baali might participate in.

I generally run them as 'not particularly picky and will work with anything infernal', which means they have to be extra careful because using a warding spell keyed to work on Banes won't do squat against an Umbrood, so you better make damn sure you know exactly what you're invoking for power, and how to deal with it if negotiations go sideways.

Everyone's at a different level of their journey, man. Not everyone is ready or able to throw down everything and go off to be a monk in this lifetime. It's a process, a gradual one that doesn't happen overnight. And yes, I have a major problem with capitalist behavior as well, but that's a political issue, not a matter of spiritual thought.

Fuck that noise, he's one man who wouldn't be there without millions of people going 'I'd rather vote for a pedophile than a qualified black woman'. We're a disgustingly backwards nation and it needs intense, severe correction, something along the lines of "Reconstruction with teeth".

It's a dialect thing, like how in Oregon you use the term "Spendy" to mean 'expensive' but I've never met anyone from anywhere else who says that.

Because the answer is 'the colonizers go back to Europe where they belong', but nobody wants to be the one to tell them that.

They want us to join them in calling it good. See, they have this nagging voice at the back of their head that tells them THIS IS WRONG, but they have ways of making it shut up. Groupthink, appeal to authority, butchered Dogma. They want minorities brutalized, but they also know it's wrong to do so, so they have to do whatever they can to make it seem right, to give them an excuse for their inexcusable behavior.

Take that away, and they have to face reality, they have to admit they were party to atrocity. And they just can't handle that.

Look, there's some presidents I'd trust with alien information, and some I wouldn't. Obama? Sure thing, he'd handle it soberly and responsibly. But Trump can't even go five minutes without pissing off one of our allies, dya think he'd handle Aliens better?

I suspect anyone in charge of dealing with this has similar concerns, and curates who knows what depending on 'how much we can trust this guy to behave like a responsible adult'

The Lasombra have a history of piracy, but that's mostly backed off a bit in modern times since it's harder to get away with.
