This is related to the ideological Turing Test, as well as the LW post Are Your Enemies Innately Evil.
The ideological Turing Test probably suffers from differences in language usage and style. It's the difference between understanding the theory, and being able to impersonate a style convincingly.
As for EY's article, I think he needs to update on the evidence for bedrock differences in people's values. Just because someone is a hero in their own story, doesn't mean they're not evil in mine. And certainly, vice versa.
That's just silly. They do hate freedom - by what I mean by freedom, and by what EY means by freedom.
