Okay, thank you for clarifying.

Regarding the contrast (truth telling vs. lie telling), I'm not so sure that's the case, in fact, I view them both as lie telling at least depending on what is being asserted. The universal truth aspect is more of a meta thing to Christianity than it being intrinsic, i.e. it's something they think they're doing/thinking or seek to do/think. I don't think is much different than how SJWs, or most people for that matter, think of themselves. The more you think you're right, the more righteous you feel in your actions.

The group will award you for lying.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that many SJWs wholly believe that they are truth-tellers, just as much as Christians believe themselves to be. You're right about the difference between subjective vs. universal.

If there is a difference, it would be the external environment and not the ideologies themselves. The shoe is on the other foot now when it comes to Christians and persecution (Christianity waning/weak/vulnerable).

These men said, "Teacher, we know that you are an honest man. We know that you teach the truth about God's way. You are not afraid of what other people think about you. All men are the same to you.

These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates.

Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

He who speaks truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit.

He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, And speaks truth in his heart.

“For my mouth will utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

“My words are from the uprightness of my heart, And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.

the truth will set you free

Contrast with SJWism:

Postmodernism challenges all truths and concludes that there is no such thing Postmodernist truth is hence that there is no truth.

If there is no truth, they get to dictate what the truth is.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that many SJWs wholly believe that they are truth-tellers

They are liars and they know that. They are gaslighting you, deceiving you. It is entirely a power play and collectivism. It has nothing to do with being a truth-teller. It is bootlicking, blind faith in authority and so on.
They seem and act as if they are truth-tellers because they themselves do not believe in truth. This is the foundation that they built their "truths" on. "Kneel before me and admit your sin"

If there is a difference, it would be the external environment and not the ideologies themselves.

I think it is a mix.
