This was my initial thought, but it’s not clear from the post whether this is a work-related rant or not. It certainly could be a rant about issues that do affect work.

I’d like to keep work about work. This conversation is not appropriate for work.

I think this is the best answer. Think of it in terms of what would the boss (a good boss, that is) say? I can actually hear my managers say this. Many of the options here could be taken by the other person as you thinking you’re “better than” them. This is a fair and accurate response that doesn’t get personal.

Yeah it is important to set boundaries. It’s critical, actually. But it need not be judgmental or cruel.
