No she's not. It was a protest and it was effective. The King of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth was called out on a world stage.

Lidia Thorpe is a legend.

How was it effective?

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 11 points 9 months ago

She got the publicity she was after.

Well fair point there

Exposes people who I wouldn't want to associate with. The people upset at Lidia would definitely be more likely to screw me over to gain favour with someone more influential. Those don't align with my morals.

Lidia Thorpe is an example of someone who thinks they are superior to everyone else, and who thinks everyone owes her something.

All it did was show the world that she was a racist.
