The culture war is a battle of identities masquerading as ideologies. An armistice will therefore only occur when people learn to separate their beliefs from their egos. (Which may be never.)
Replying to @xchixm @M_Methuselah
You said it yourself; ego *partly* drives people to value their beliefs. There is also reason. But people entwine their conception of themselves with their beliefs so that an attack on their beliefs feels like an attack on them personally.
