I don't think there needs to be constant growth but it is useful to have a place with consistent leftist ideology unmarred by typical lib shit that people can coalesce at. It has improved my well-being and sense of belonging and that is useful to me as a human. What is the use in keeping it exclusive and limited unless to protect yourself?

Not for you maybe, but I don't think I would have found this place if it weren't for fedded users complaining about "tankie hexbears" lol. This community is unique and I'm glad my instance is federated but I agree with all critique in this thread.
Hey I will say there is at least one non-reactionary unshitty dbzer0 poster, I don't claim to be the perfect leftist but I don't usually get any hate for my posts here. In general I agree with the characterization though, I think a lot of redditors were drawn to dbzer0 because of the piracy comm, which aside from the common interest in that there is a wide array of shitty views.
Based on what evidence? Even if it were, an attack on an embassy or consulate is akin to attacking their territory. If Israel has a right to retaliate against Hamas then Iran has every right to retaliate against Israel.
I understand your view and there is merit to it. But it misses the point. It's not 'politics I don't like' in general, it's naziism, the belief that some races are more deserving of life than others, aka dehumanization, and the belief that genocidal policies should be enacted to protect the ethnostate.
Society doesn't tolerate a person threatening someone's life with intent to carry out the threat, Naziism is an explicit threat to people's lives and should be seen as such. I agree simply punching them isn't the answer, but their beliefs should not be allowed to be espoused and must be resisted at every stage.
Of course there's a spectrum, I never said we had to beat all of them to death. But anyway society is too tolerant of nazis, which is why they are embedded in police and political positions, they aren't imprisoned enough, so in the mean time they can get punched by decent people if they want to be open nazis.
I'm a lieutenant commander in the Western Corps of the Antifa International Brigade, nice to meet you!
Does a nazi being assaulted bother you? If a nazi doesn't want to be assault by decent people then they shouldn't be a nazi. Tolerating a nazi is advocating for genocide.
I do more research when I comment here
Israel couldn't function without continued US support, this isn't some abstract, the US political establishment enables Israeli atrocities and turns a blind eye to their seizing of territory, even just last month Israel annexed Palestinian territory illegally with the full support of the West.
