I think the US-style culture war is moving to Math and STEM fields. Looking at what happened in the social sciences, I can not say I am optimistic about the future, especially since mathematicians are not very well-equipped to deal with topics with such complex historical and social layers. As with most wars, there will be fanatics, heroes, tragic figures and opportunistic cowards committed to mutual destruction from both sides.
Although it might be fun as hell to watch, I would rather not watch it on MathOverflow. There are already many venues for that, this is one place where we can all indulge in the "cold, austere beauty" of Mathematics, as Rome burns.
