    "I just tried to explain to Evo Morales that opposing war will get a person 'cancelled' in Europe & North America. He didn't understand the concept. He was asking why European people aren't fighting back against NATO. I had to explain that no one there questions propaganda, and that anyone who does is immediately cancelled and driven out of public life. No dissent allowed there." - Ollie Vargas

        "I just tried to explain to Nicolás Maduro that an opposing player will 'edgeguard' stages on the game Super Smash Bros Melee to prevent players from reaching the stage. He didn't understand the concept."

          He was asking why European gamers aren’t fighting back against edgeguarding by using kirby to suck them up and jump off the edge in spite. I had to explain that no one there plays kirby, and that anyone who does is immediately cancelled and driven out of public life. No kirby allowed there.

        Ollie can honestly be kinda cringe on social issues sometimes. He's a big free speech head. Not to diminish any of the important work that he or Kawasachun have done both during and after the coup, it's just a personal trait that shows up on twitter every so often
