Matt Le Tissier

[Greenmile]

Antisemite, or “just asking questions”?

[Ric_C]

Think he's on the verge of going full David Icke

[Greenmile]

All conspiracy theories eventually lead to “the Jews did it”.

[claptrappers_union]

He's just regurgitating the **** he's read on the net. Some of it will hold water, but most is fabricated conspiracy nonsense.

The Jewish Chronicle will really go for him now just like they did with Burnley FC when they called for the club to rename a stand.

Which bits “will hold water”, do you think?

[Rick_Muller]

I got blocked by him on Twitter for asking him to corroborate his theories regarding the pandemic with empirical data from actual sources and not internet nutjobs

[SammyBoy]

Le Tissier has gone full “bloke in his 50’s who discovered the internet last week”, seen it happen countless times.

[Rick_Muller]

the internet lunatic bits I think

[TheFamilyCat]

Tim Osman

[TsarBomba]

Ricky Lambert has gone down the same rabbit hole.

[Spijed]

He'd fit right in with many members of the Republican party in Congress. Many of them are full blown loons as well

[daveisaclaret]

Sad how easily people get radicalised (radicalise themselves?) from simple exposure to lies on the internet. Much too late for the likes of Le Tissier but this is why media literacy needs to be taught in schools.

Yep - media literacy and / or critical thinking skills should be taught in place of facts and figures (eg historical dates etc) which can easily be found online, as long as you have media literacy and critical thinking skills.

This may already be the case - I have no recent experience of school curricula.

[Burnley1989]

That Anthony Fowler is the same, it looks like it all starts with CBD gummys then your start losing your mind
One headed a ball for a living and the other got punched in the head, not that you'd know

I didn't read everything he's apparently tweeted. When it comes to conspiracies, there's usually a grain of truth in there somewhere though.

In general I mean, maybe not in in this particular case

Definitely not in this particular case, and I’m not sure I’d even agree with “in general”, tbh.

[Pickles]

Total lunatic and proper thick.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

He’s gone full crazy nut job in recent years
This is what happens when you’re stuck at home bored with plenty of money

Predictably he’s gone down the “blame the Jews” route like the rest of them

That’s despite Mossad telling the USA the names of some of the attackers, the rough date and methods of the attack
Even Russia was warning the USA it was going to happen

The Catholic Church has a lot to answer for with its rampant antisemitism

[gtclaret]

All conspiracy theories eventually lead to “the Jews did it”.

But Matt not saying that is he.He's just supporting some baseless rubbish which is now normal for him.Even if it was true 99.9 per cent of the Jewish people would not have known about it.It would be wrong to tarnish a whole race because of the actions of a few.Im sure if anyone did you would be the first to call it out.Just like white people being responsible for the slave trade.Im sure you were the first to call that one out

The Covid was in a lab theory not a bat
The vaccines don't stop transmission theory
Vaccine passports theory

Some of his takes are mental but on Covid a lot of the conspiracy theories were right

[gandhisflipflop]

It’s easy for people to label people like MLT loons and nutjobs. Complete waste of time even talking with them. Wouldn’t want zlatan to come back on and get his knickers in a twist anyway.

[BurnleyFC]

The amount of my mates that have gone down the same route is frightening. Everything is a conspiracy to them:-

The queen died years ago
9/11
Flat earth
COVID
Chem trails
Cashless society
15 minute cities
etc

Whilst I’m sure we don’t know everything that actually does go on, the fact that they believe everything is a conspiracy gives them no credibility whatsoever.

I seen a clip of this clowns the other day along the lines of him not sacrificing his morals and changing something in his product to allow a major retailer to stock his gummys

And they ALL strangely support Putin in the war in Ukraine.

He’s quite clearly blaming “the Jews” for 9/11. Obviously that doesn’t mean every single Jewish person, but that doesn’t mean he’s not an antisemite.

Apologies if I’ve missed the point of your post - it was quite hard to understand in all honesty.

Edit - he’s also getting his “information” from a Holocaust denier, which is textbook antisemitism.

the term echo chamber was invented for these types of people

[daveisaclaret]

REALLY easy.

[gandhisflipflop]

REALLY easy.

It’s a no lose scenario for you. The ‘loons’ get all the abuse, and if the ‘conspiracy’ comes true, it just gets swept under the carpet.

Sad really.

Yep, when it turns out we've got a secret communist government I'll just sweep it under the carpet.

It's mad how many people have this sort of stuff as their entire personality. Empty lives.

[Rowls]

It might be worth examining what Le Tissier has actually said here.

According to the JC article, the only thing he has posted is, "What a thread." That's it. Three words.

The JC extrapolates that this constitutes an "endorsement" but that isn't necessarily so. It implies that Le Tissier re-tweeted the threads but it isn't explicit in stating this.

I would often re-tweet pure nonsense for the sake of it. I was particularly fond of re-tweeting caustic and nasty tweets at one point just so that the author's nature could be seen by others.

It's not worth castigating Le Tissier for this unless he unequivocally states that he actually agrees with the sentiments of what he has re-tweeted.

Until or unless he does so, we've no idea of his motivations. And all those accusing him of being in hock to whacky conspiracies have jumped the gun. He might be. He might not be.

Nothing in the linked JC article demonstrates that Le Tissier believes this stuff, it's all supposition.

It's easy to spot click bait when we don't agree with the article. Less easy to discren click bait if it conforms to or reinforces our own world view.

[Greenmile]

Like I said, complete waste of time.

Yes - it is. Maybe you should stop bothering, then. You can go off and have a good chat with Le Tissier, Icke, and anonymousclaret about all the secret cabals of “globalist parasites” who are responsible for everything bad that happens in your lives, whilst you dose yourselves up with horse medication to ward off the 5G induced, lab-created, gene-altering, man-made, so-called “virus” in your 15-minute cities.

[claptrappers_union]

I believe the middle class is being engineered to be wiped out, so there will be just an upper and lower class with a digital ID and social credit system all in the name of 'protecting the climate' and the likes of the World Health Organisation will take control when nobody voted for them.

[Clovius Boofus]

I've yet to meet anyone who spouts conspiracy 'theory' nonsense who isn't dull as feck. Which leads me to my own theory as to why they want to believe any old crap. It's because it makes dullards feel special. It's like; 'I know exactly what's going on regarding XY and Z, but the rest don't get it, because you haven't got my outstanding knowledge and insight'.

You might just have a (very weak) point had Le Tissier not spent the last couple of years openly endorsing just about every conspiracy theory going,

It’s not that long since you were presenting yourself as the scourge of antisemitism on here, but that seemed to disappear just as soon as Corbyn was (rightly) booted out of the Labour Party. Funny that, eh? Almost like antisemitism was nothing more than a convenient weapon for you to use against Labour.

[Murger]

You can tell who gets all their info from the BBC.

Who’s running this nefarious conspiracy, and to what end? (cui bono?)

[Greenmile]

Is it the people who don’t blame a shadowy cabal of “globalist parasites” (jews) for everything?

[quoonbeatz]

Not just an apologist for racism but antisemitism too? Well I never.

[Murger]

So what other sources other than the BBC do you get your info from?

Personally love the Chemtrail stuff. Absolutely bats**t crazy but it's genuinely hilarious.

Go and get your booster.

[claptrappers_union]

Make more money and have control from large corporations, Banks, Media and Drug companies. Do you honestly believe the Prime Minister is in charge? Bill Gates is now a leading voice in vaccines and drug administration... how did this happen, Why are we listening to him? It is almost as if he will financially benefit from it or something.

They are not necessarily nefarious conspiracies it's just what's coming, if you like it or not. A few years ago David Icke called the New World Order, for instance; here's Rishi reading from an autocue promoting a the blueprint for a 'World Centralised Bank' essentially - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8eZcPnWeU

Here's Bill Gates's website talking about the benefits of Digital IDs - https://www.gatesfoundation.org/ideas/a ... id-systems

Why can’t you answer, seeing as I’m the 1 who asked you first?

So Bill Gates is telling the world’s politicians what to do, so he can make more money? Why are they listening to him?

[Greenmile]

Why can’t you answer, seeing as I’m the 1 who asked you first?

Ok. I get my news from the BBC (natch), Sky News, The Guardian, The Times, The FT, Channel 4 News, ITN, and trusted journalists and experts on Twitter.

Your turn now.
