Yea, because when I think of how we should conduct ourselves to best attempt to restore society to some level of rationality and sanity the first thing I think of is the book "Rules for Radicals".
If you’re attacked by a criminal on the street, do you defend yourself with the strict rules of amateur boxing or do you use every dirty trick in the book to survive? Do you want your last thoughts to be: “At least I was a nice guy and didn’t do anything mean”?
Who said anything about being a "nice guy" or not doing anything mean? Self-defense using whatever force necessary to stop the threat does not equal following "Rules for Radicals".
It still has nothing to do with being a nice guy or not being mean. It has to do with having principals, something the left completely lacks hence their behavior. Behavior we shouldn't emulate or risk becoming just as bad as them.
In the front lines of the culture war, there are times when using the left's rules against them is not only effective, it nudges them away from fringe leftism. You'll never see a leftist wilt faster than when they are convincingly accused of racism. If you can get their supposed allies and peers to join in, it has the potential to leave them totally disillusioned with politics. I've seen it. So yes, using these rules against them can contribute to restoring rationality to society.

He's saying use their playbook against them as a defense

Yeah how's it been following the rules so far?
Very good, Patriots in control.
