The claim that the open society is immoral or amoral is actually interesting. I've thought about the same thing with regards to the incessant cries for equality politically too.

I mean, I don't want to psychoanalyze too much, but it seems to me that the howls for equality in every corner of society is an attempt to annihilate value and difference between people, and that it's not necessarily a well-meaning ideal.

Everyone knows that when you value something, you devalue something else, which makes it hard then to actually see the value in equality because it aims to make everyone valuable regardless of any criterion of value.

How much of the cries of equality is actually nihilistic resentment? Seems hard to separate the people who want to "pull the great down" from the people who want to "help the weak up".
