LIDIA THORPE — A Perfect Example Of Mid-Level Violence

The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of this site. This site does not give financial, investment or medical advice.

As far as anything about this odious woman can be said to be perfect, this is it. If you haven’t heard of Lidia Thorpe, she is a green politician in Australia. Like many of her ilk she is more red than green, and has campaigned for all sorts of lunatic causes. One is for white Australians to pay reparations to Aborigines, forgetting or perhaps being unaware that before Australia was colonised, these people were still living in the Stone Age.

In addition to whining about racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc, Thorpe appears to be adept at what is known as mid-level violence. If you are not familiar with this Marxist tactic, it is described succinctly in this short video by James Lindsay. It involves getting in someone’s face, including literally, invading that individual’s personal space, and provoking a reaction. Then outrage is generated at the reaction rather than at the initial provocation. When they were rioting in Portland, Oregon, Antifa thugs took this to a new level. They used what was called the wall of moms, literally a group of young women fronting a protest facing the police – “Hey boys, we’re only poor, defenseless wimmin, you wouldn’t attack us, would you?” Then at some point a thug dressed in black bloch would throw a missile or strike a police officer. If the police react, the headline becomes Police attack peacefully protesting mothers.

Lidia Thorpe’s recent humiliation was far less sophisticated. As some readers may be aware, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull is currently Down Under. As she was speaking in Canberra, at one of her outdoor rallies, Thorpe rushed her holding a flag; she was wrestled to the ground by the police and crawled away on her knees. Naturally, she played the victim, but she isn’t. Like many people who campaign against this trans madness, Mrs Keen-Minshull has been subjected to credible threats of violence and has also been assaulted, albeit not seriously. On one occasion she had water thrown at her, but who’s to say the next time it won’t be acid?

In a situation like this the police have to act, in short they are damned if they do, damned if they don’t, but there is a long list of high profile individuals attacked or even murdered by nutters. John Lennon was shot dead in 1980; rock musician Dimebag Darrell was shot dead on stage in 2004. More recently, the American politician Gabby Giffords survived a mass shooting in 2011 – 6 others didn’t, including a 9 year old girl. In 2017, Steve Scalise survived a mass shooting. It would be tiresome to list the countless Islamist attacks on prominent or ordinary people. Is Lidia Thorpe ignorant of all this? Is she Hell!

Does Lidia Thorpe have the POS of the Year award wrapped up yet?

You are certainly correct about the ‘odious woman’. An idiot in search of a headline, a baby who’s spat the dummy etc. etc.

What’s the point of making a comment? I’ve logged in, tried half a dozen times to be recognised and not had my comment published. What do I have to do? – pay? I respect those who created this site but this is a bloody joke.

Thank you for this post and certainly new to me about this: ‘what is known as mid-level violence. If you are not familiar with this Marxist tactic’ And I will try to follow up on the links you have included in your article. One thing I question though is the video link you pasted showing Lydia ending up on the ground. In another video she is certainly being restrained by the police and jostled around but it is not until a blond haired woman grabs, what I think is her right arm/wrist, and Lydia then ends up on the ground.… Read more »

That is quite beside the point. They were human beings and deserved to be treated with dignity, not to have their lands stolen from them and be forced to live like white people – very poor ones, too.

Have you any idea what today’s aboriginal people think about the violent conquest of their land by Europeans? I don’t think you would find many who think it was a good thing.

Are humans the only mammals who deserve to be treated with dignity?
How do we know the aboriginal people dud not steal the land themselves?
Does America own the moon since we were the first ones there?
Did Ghengis Kahn and his hordes deserve to be treated “with dignity?”
How far back would you like to go to determine who owns what? 100,000 years?

 “They were human beings and deserved to be treated with dignity, not to have their lands stolen from them……” “..human beings..” —That’s debatable! They were stone age primitives, when Europeans first came across them, only 400 years ago!  Do you seriously think that they evolved into the equals of the Caucasian race, in the space of 400 years?  The fact of the matter is, Aborigines are primitives! They owe far more to the Europeans that saved them from a stone age existence, than vice versa. And what do you think they were doing with “..their lands stolen from them…”, 400… Read more »

Lidia Thorpe is a Senator I believe. Down Under we have little exposure to her on the public media so it is hard to evaluate theses comments.
