> My main objection is against the claim that one cannot be far-right if he does not embrace political violence
I haven't seen anything you post refute that point. Look at the examples given at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics - you'll see the KKK, EDL, Patriots of Ukraine, Blackshirts, etc - the common thread of these groups is their use of violence.
> Thiel's far-right views that would make him far-right
Thiel's views are fairly common libertarian / conservative views. The far right, is by nature, further to the right of regular right wing views.
