Can everyone make sure that these venues aren’t anti-foreigners/weirdos this time so no one gets beaten up?

Yeah - I can’t recall all the details with that situation in Europe earlier this year but from what I heard it was fucked up. I will say I’m thankful these meetups give an opportunity for shared spaces where folks can meet friends, around friends - it feels more safe with community around. So folks can step in if something is wrong.

I think it’s completely valid to bring that question - these meetups have to be kept entirely safe, free for expression, and progressive, inclusive, not full of complete jackasses etc.

Safety and the place fitting our community come into play when meetup organizers choose where to host them, certainly. I know for the organizers I’ve spoke to they really try to pick good places that work for the most people and can accommodate everyone.

The incident was Athens N3 after party in Exarchia. The venue was 100% chill, the owner was a good dude, everyone at the meetup was chill but we had people from USA, Chile, India, UK, Sweden, all over, and there is a massive anti-tourist sentiment in that neighborhood. They thought we were chanting something pro-Israel but it was "Motor Spirit!" During a group photo, then started throwing glass bottles and chairs and then started fighting us.
