Okay, here's the deal...

If you read Priya Parker's book "Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters," you will learn that a party for everyone is a party for no one. So I'm just going to lay it out there in a bullet point list guideline. Please walk away if:

  • You are a liberal who has bullied other liberals for not being liberal enough

  • You are a conservative who has bullied other conservatives for not being conservative enough

  • You are a three time Trump voter. Exception: Iranian. Only.

  • You are a communist who explodes at people who have lived in a communist country and share their experience

  • You bullied Iranian diaspora. You've called them "traitors" for supporting Trump's invasion of Iran. You've dismissed their pain and treated their suffering as an inconvenient truth.

  • You harass Ukrainians or Ukraine humanitarians with misinformation about the Russian-Ukraine War. You act like you know more about the tragedy they lived because of some shit you saw online.

  • You dehumanize Palestinians or Jews.

  • You're getting agitated reading this list.

  • Extreme politics or religion

  • You MUSTTTT give your opinion about every possible topic
