    So you can just take their money, spend it, then not get in trouble for it? Brb, spinning up a right wing influencer touring business.

      I don’t normally speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, however; ew! We don’t claim her.

    It’s fitting that a right wing influencer would scam their right wing followers.

    Okay, just to be clear here - fuck Candace Owens

    But . . . If you read the article she was actually scammed out of a bunch of money too. She even gave the promoter money to cover refunds and they just didn’t refund it. Rocksman (the promoter) is the real villain of the story.

    I mean, it’s messed up all around, but I’ll at least give credit to C.Owens for trying to get people their refunds. Also I’m not exactly crying over these folks getting fleeced but holy shit it’s crazy what the promoter did and got away with and what they stole.

      Conservatives always lie.

      C Owens is almost certainly in on the scam, but she needs to make herself the victim because conservatives always do

      Joel Jammal, the head of Turning Point Australia and a sponsor for the tour, said he believed it sold 15,000 tickets, which started at $95 and ranged up to $1,500 for VIP tickets, suggesting Rocksman sold at least $1.4m worth of tickets.

      1. people are idiots
      2. we have a ton of right wing idiots and American politics is so loud that they get really into it.

      Our right wing is mostly about billionaires and corporate theft, with only the minor parties doing the racist schtick. So the racists tend to be Maga despite it not being all that relevant to our politics. Although Pauline Hanson’s one nation is getting bigger since the liberals have fallen out of favour and she’s good at racism.
