The article is right-on. It is *crucial* to understand what this article is saying.
In order to defeat Liberalism, we must understand it. Why are Liberals so irrational? Why do they behave in such a controlling manner? Why do people — especially Hollywood types and academics — become Liberals?
It is a Psychology, but I often think it’s innate. There are exceptions, but you can often (not always) tell who is a Liberal just by looking at them.
Again, in order to defeat Liberalism, we must understand it. Once we understand it, we can begin to reason with the fringes and bring them over to our side and we can prevent kids from being brainwashed into it.

Actually I’d say much of the article is bunk.
I know plenty of lefties from college and they are not motivated in the way this guy describes. Maybe there are example to which his description is apt, but I really doubt it is the majority or a really significant portion.
Most of the lefties I know are convinced that their methods do work, and that corporations are evil. The main factors which convince the Left to do what they do are:
A) the conviction that we are in a zero sum game
B) the idea that marketing is essentially mind control, and that because of this government must restrain corporations or they will run roughshod over people.
These are the things I consistently see when I argue with lefties as the fundamentals of why they fail to understand the world for what it really is.
Sure, there are likely some puffins who are what this guy describes, but this is just the preening Hollywood left rather than the actual thinking left of Academia or the bar.
