The club promotion will have lofty goals. Which the leadership ignore. Their written claim that they welcome newcomers, will turn out in practice to be "Shut up, sit still and do as you're told."! After a while, you'll realise why there are so few members.

In politics, things are not what they seem. People lie, in some settings compulsively. Check statements, and especially claims, for validity. Play safe.

Look it's just me and some friends trying to invite some casual reading with like minded people, i wouldn't even really say it's a club self-consciously, although with how we ain't big now it is de facto.

Personally, I would never do real shit with people I talk shit with. Vice versa.

Differently minded folk would better stimulate discussion. If two people are in complete agreement--one of them is redundant!

Sure, but that's why we're inviting people publicly. we're just not going to do a bunch of illegal shit with people we don't know

Laws are easy to enact but difficult to repeal. So statutes are way out of date from society's expectations.
