I agree, except that I think the comparison is useful and does not belittle the the materially worse conditions of someone who is worse off.

I'm just going to resort to analogy: it's like saying we have a shared humanity with someone on death row. Saying we share something is a connection between us. It's not saying the differences between us are trivial.

But I can be both simultaneously? I can feel solidarity with someone while acknowledging we aren’t the same ...

I agree 100% with this
