#2Anyone here can explain why is Peter Thiel so dedicated to conservatism and the culture war?
I don't get how bankrolling people who actively support policies that hurt minorities (like the LGBT community) can bring any upside to him. What is his endgame here?

The policies that hurt minorities aren't any policy he's personally affected by, thanks to his wealth and age. His wealth also insulates him from experiences that would foster empathy in others.

Why is anyone dedicated to an ideology? It's not a means to a different end, it's an end in itself.
As far as any personal inconsistency is concerned, humans are naturally inconsistent, and give themselves exceptions to their professed rules.
