She's an American conservative/fascist, and this was a speaking tour. The Australian government denied her VISA because she had the "capacity to incite discord", so the tour was canceled. But the tour was managed through a shell company that seems to have existed for essentially this exact eventuality: There are no refunds because the company is now bankrupt, and the money was successfully grifted.
A fool and his money are soon parted. I just fucking hate that this is going to end up funding the goddamn right wing conservative grift machine.
Events like concerts are often structured in this way to defray risks, even when organisers are genuine.
I like to think I could "incite discord" if I really tried. I bet most people could!
Just shout "Linux and Star Trek sucks!" on Lemmy. Discord achieved.
