Thiel is a multi-billionaire, so the same rules don't apply to him as the masses. Even the most anti-LGBT politicians will fawn over you if you have such money and power despite being what they supposedly detest.
- mcv 4y agoThe article even quotes on of Thiel's bought politicians who came to his wedding despite opposing gay marriage. The whole thing seems utterly contradictory to me, but clearly principles are flexible when money and power are concerned.

But on the other hand support hardcore anti-immigrant regulation. Why? Because he realises that people are selfish and he would act in the immigrants situation the same opportunistic way thus feels sympathy. But at the same way sees opportunistic immigration is a mayor problem for society thus supports hard regulation. That way leads to situations where you are personal friends with people that you on a systemic level attack, without having a true moral conflict.
