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
