I'm looking for books that explain why is West, all of a sudden, so obsessed with the notions of "equality" and "diversity"; why sexual and race minorities suddenly matter? Why communism is suddenly cool again? And so on. Why is it suddenly okay to silence out anyone who dares to have a different opinion on anything? And why are all of the biggest corporations in the world like Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. seemingly so in love of all those ideas?

>all of a sudden
it has been ever since the enlightenment, about 300 years ago
>why sexual and race minorities suddenly matter?
because they're human beings
>seemingly so in love of all those ideas?
because if they seem progressive and in line with the values of most people they will be more successful as businesses. also they need to appeal to as many people as possible

What do you mean "all of a sudden?"

The entire history of the west is the pursuit of liberty against the forces of tyranny.

No, this is literally just Christianity doing what it's been doing since it started. Go crack read Eusebius, he talks about the necessity of uniting humanity as one race practicing one religion and speaking one anti-language (technically Hebrew is the only true language, Koine is not "a language" according to him).

Democracy in America, Why Liberalism Failed, the passages on masks and on the rabble in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the chapter "On Nobility" in BG&E, Marquis de Sade, Houellebecq, "Victim of the Muses" by Todd M. Compton, "The End of History and the Last Man" by Fukuyama

tl;dr crowds win at violence, and the interest of the crowd and its participants is to grow larger and larger since its power draws on quantity alone. And it expresses its power through violence or implicit violence by exclusion. The crowd cannot endlessly grow in mass because this would violate its feeling of power if there was none left for it to attack and persecute. But it has a general tendency to grow in mass, and the desire it fulfills comes in opposition to other desires such as pride, self distinction, individual recognition and superiority, etc. "Equality" is a mechanism for subduing the desire for self superiority, in favor of the mass superiority of the crowd. And when the power of the crowd eventually grows too much, society begins to lose necessary social distinctions required to support advanced civilization

Kevin MacDonald's trilogy is said to be very good. I have only read the third, Culture of Critique, but I stand by it.
The first two books are on the history of the Jews, and their society. And the third concludes with how they achieved their positions of power, how they further their influence, and why they use the methods they use.

Equality, yes in some sense, diversity, no.
>because they're human beings
The idea of a human being is a non-reality which has been constantly changing over time. One day it might foreseeably include simians.
>because if they seem progressive and in line with the values of most people they will be more successful as businesses. also they need to appeal to as many people as possible
The only thing in your post which is actually correct, although glaringly obvious and does not say anything we didn't already know

Leftist analysis is so laughable, they have literally nothing beyond this depersonalized sociological and economic critique. They absolutely shit the bed when attempting any kind of actual *political* analysis. They don't know who the actors are, where the power lies, or what motivates the elite, it's all just "THEY JUST WANT PROFITS MAN".

As I wrote elsewhere:

>What is most existentially determining, sex, race or class? Obviously class–the rich of any race or sex have far more in common among themselves than they do with those of their sex or race who are not wealthy, beginning with the inordinate power they wield over "democracies" Is it impolite to say this while it is not impolite to discuss racial or gender conflict at the first opportunity?

You get the picture about why they're doing it.
