If you think the current identity politics doesn’t invite a much more apt quote, from Machiavelli, regarding dividing and conquering the common people (and on this stuff, where the trick is to pit the self-ordained enlightened against the troglodytes, that includes us), you’re not looking at the issue closely enough.
