Replying to @QiaochuYuan
i'm not anywhere close to convinced that the Xs here are deep and fundamental in general, as opposed to being deep and fundamental in the dominant culture i could buy that social justice is a descendent ideology from christianity, or something like that, which explains this case

yeah, maybe those were not quite the words i wanted, descending from christianity is a reasonable take and others have made this and similar claims (e.g. moldbug, @Meaningness)
