Not to speak for OP, but I think the point is obvious. Silicon Valley culture is liberal to progressive, not libertarian. That means more government intervention is the norm in the industry, not less. Thiel is more of an exception in that regard.
The entire premise that Silicon Valley has a libertarian culture is flawed, which is they the article can't back it up.
