Notable people on the Thiel's List pulled from the Bluesky post:

Reminds me of the show Thiel's Founders Fund launched this month with the intention of "humanizing" billionaires:
Quote
The hottest party game in Silicon Valley started with a casual rallying cry: "Let's go kill some people." [...] The game pits a secret minority known as the "mafia" against a group of "townspeople." Through deception and debate, the townspeople try to expose the mafia before the mafia kills them one by one.
The show could help humanize tech titans, even those known for revolutionizing artificial intelligence and defense tech, said Mike Solana, Founders Fund’s Chief Marketing Officer
The Wall Street Journal - Facebook
... by having billionaires play Mafia. Based on the description this seems like an obviously terrible idea in context. Then again, a bunch of you have organized games on here in the past, so maybe not? IDK. -

Cause, on 17 June 2026 - 04:26 PM, said:That quote seemed too stupid to be real. I can't find the actual interview, apparently it's from a magazine piece, and he was talking about the 'last ring bearer' which a fan fiction book written by a Russian author in 1999 in which Sauron rules Mordor on the cusp of an Industrial Revolution and the elves are hippy eco terrorists trying to destroy it.
I still can't find the full context so don't know what point he was making
https://en.wikipedia...Last_Ringbearer
Edit:I have no idea what the point of the book is even supposed to be.
If it wasn't from 1999 I'd say the fact that it's Russian and a theme is that the orcs are really just humans and orc is a racial slur used against them it could be some weird political take on the Ukraine war. I have never heard orc used for Russians until Ukraine war though?
The magazine is defunct, but someone apparently found a physical copy and posted screenshots on Bluesky:

Edit: here's the paragraph in which the quote appears:

Thiel's reputation for contrarianism is well founded. Forever the chess player, he revels in trying to outthink the competition, in devising the unexpected move-the seemingly absurd but devastating maneuver that no one sees coming. "Most people think that if something's written, if it's shared by the majority of people, then you'll look like a black sheep for challenging it," says his friend Gary Kasparov, the Russian chess grandmaster. "Peter doesn't have any problem with that." A devoted J.R.R. Tolkien fan from an early age, Thiel is equally enamored with Kirill Eskov's The Last Ringbearer, a retelling of The Lord of the Rings in which Sauron is a beleaguered victim and the elves are bellicosely bent on world domination. "Gandalf's the crazy person who wants to start a war," Thiel explains, "and Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it's all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works. Anyway, it's really clever." He's willing to cite Howard Hughes as a role model, with certain caveats ("It's not worth emulating him...all the way to the last years in Las Vegas"): "There was this incredibly powerful visionary aspect, a sort of risk-taking, a new-frontier aspect to Hughes that it would be good for us to look up to without having misgivings about how it all ended." -

Cause, on 15 June 2026 - 06:38 PM, said:Tiste was referencing a recent incident in which the police handcuffed the victim rather than the attacker. The far-right couldn't have engineered a better scenario with which to spark chaos if they tried. Saying 'So yeah, some issues there. No one is denying that.' wont cut it.

Eighteen-year-old Henry Nowak was wrongly arrested as he lay dying in the street, after he was falsely accused of a racist attack. Nowak was stabbed by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa in Southampton, in Southern England [...] Digwa, a British Sikh man, lied to the police by falsely claiming that Nowak, who was white, had racially abused him. As a result, police initially arrested Nowak rather than his attacker.
[...] Footage shows officers handcuffing Nowak - who appears unable to move - as he repeatedly tells them he has been stabbed and that he can't breathe. At one point, a police officer can be heard saying "You've been stabbed? Whereabouts? I don't think you have, mate." Later, the police officers proceed to read Nowak his rights, as he becomes unresponsive.

It certainly seems like a legitimate grievance against the police and how the claim of racism was handled in that particular instance.
The UK apparently doesn't collect statistics on crimes by immigration status or country of origin except for foreign nationals in prison. The Telegraph irresponsibly analyzed this data in 2024 without controlling for age and sex and found that foreign nationals are imprisoned at a 27% higher rate than British citizens. But after controlling for age and sex they are imprisoned at a slightly lower rate than British citizens.

Of course, racism, xenophobia, perceived threat to traditional local cultural identities, economic hardship, and overburdened and underfunded government services also seem to be major factors.
