it does sometimes look like the left is eating itself by creating internal fractal divisions all the way down. I don't think there is any group of puppeteers pulling strings from the top; it's just a weird consequence of intersectionality.

you probably need to expand on this a bit more to support a conclusion like this:

I don't contest that conflict often arises when there is a very diverse population living or working together, but we need to investigate the causality a bit more. does increasing diversity inherently reduce trust and cohesion, or does trust and cohesion appear to be reduced locally because a bunch of different groups who already didn't trust each other are suddenly living/working together?
When interethnic contact and perceived threat are included in the model there is no direct negative effect between diversity and social cohesion. The theoretical implications of these findings are outlined including the importance of facilitating opportunities for positive contact in diverse communities.
>>concept of diversity is itself racist and sexist, as are those who espouse it. I really don't understand how you are forming those conclusions.
There are tons of studies and study-reviews on the topic. It is a fascinating area of sociological research.
Here’s an interesting review— however, the issue is that it seems this reviewer has a bias whereby they’re trying to prove diversity doesn’t reduce social cohesion.
That said, it’s still an interesting review.

Attack the message, not the messenger. Even folks you don't like might have well reasoned arguments.
I suggest you go deeper on your research. This phenomenon comes from fear of the other and lack of inclusivity in general. Diversity in a vacuum is a benefit (see monoculture), the drive for diversity is with this in mind.
When there are a couple of girls in the class, they all tend to hang out together. Once the ratio goes closer to 1:1, there's a "boys' club" and there's a "girls' club".
Yet... clearly we see there is no intention for real diversity of thought. Instead, there must be an ulterior motive.
Basically, get a population to buy in to tribalism. Then, they self-police each other into politically correct conformity.
Luckily though, the social institution of diversity consumes itself, no one can escape from the group-policing driving the group towards utterly bland conformity.
Amazon/Whole Foods knows all about that.
Diversity is a divide and conquer strategy for controlling populations. When groups fight each other (based on inborn qualities, in a tribalistic manner), they don’t fight socio económic elites as much.
Have you noticed how much diversity is promoted by propaganda outlets across news & entertainment? That should give you a major hint of the intentions of socioeconomic elites: to push this idea on the population in a concealed, covert, subtle way.
If interested in challenging your perspective: Research the topic of how diversity in neighborhoods reduces trust and cohesion.
Additionally, for major corporations, Regulations to enforce diversity reduces their competition, because only the largest corporations can afford the most competitive salaries to attract the small pool of “diverse” candidates.
Ultimately the concept of diversity is itself racist and sexist, as are those who espouse it.
