I’m really glad this isn’t just the image, that it includes a guy telling us it’s funny. I’m not sure I could’ve worked that out myself.

I think you’re running into a conflict of definitions. Usually that’s what these sorts of disagreements boil down to. In order to answer whether Russia counts as “imperialist”, you first have to know what counts as “imperialism”.
the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas
By this definition, it’s difficult to say Russia is doing capital “I” imperialism, since they’re not occupying and controlling a majority of Ukraine. If you count any amount of land occupied, then they are.
When you’re talking to tankies, you also have to realise that Imperialism is a jargon term with a specific definition. That’s explained by Lenin here, if you’re interested.
Yes, but this shit is wrong. Imagine if I went to a shit restaurant, and I ordered shit, and instead they served me chocolate mouse. I think I would be quite rightly upset about this.

I don’t see how this is Pythagorean, since there none of the corners are right-angle ones.

I will also say that ‘to ignore something’ implies but doesn’t mean to be aware of something. If you’re not aware of something, you’re ignoring it by default, which is also the case with being ignorant.
What slogan would you like instead? I think “Defund the police” is probably the most succinct and truthful slogan you could come up with. No matter what political goal you have, summing it up in 3 or so words is never going to give the full picture.
Yes, I agree that communicating clearly is important. But there’s only so much you can do realistically.

During pride month, you’re only allowed to be gay. Enforced by law, I’m pretty sure.
