Even undead immortals need to read theory, it seems smh

Game is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines btw. Great game if very early 2000s (in ways both good and very, very bad)

While that's true, I think that's part of the beauty of trying to play a high humanity character committed to helping both Kindred and Kine alike on any level. There's an inherent futility in it, especially as both kindred society as a whole and the beast within will gnaw at your scruples as you try to survive, and it will only get worse by the century if not decade or even year. On a broader social level, if you thought human society was mercilessly resistant against attempts to revolutionize it, the Elder Vampires will go above and beyond to crush any rowdy upstarts. And at the end of the day, you'll be a parasite at best, no matter how much you try to offset that.
But that doesn't matter. You are still fundamentally the same person as before the day you began your unlife, just trapped in your own reanimated corpse. You won't give into such excuses and will fight to the bitter end, even if its a fight you will most likely lose.
Or so my Bolshevik Brujah (a Latvian Red Rifleman who got turned in the civil war) tries to tell himself as he trudges through the bleak days, both for the kindred rabble and the human workers of the world.
Yeah, don't get me wrong: "vampires are by a core conceit of the setting doomed to slowly lose themselves and become twisted mockeries of anything they once were" doesn't mean they can't be narratively interesting or hold out for a long time, it's just the deck is stacked against them.
