"Having a different set of priorities" is just another way of saying someone is stupid or irrational. This base is supporting someone who is not acting in their best interests, because yes, their best interests are not a priority.
There's even a term for this in economics, called Animosity, which leads to economic imbalance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_discrimination#Animosity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_discrimination#Animos...

- bduerst 7y agoEconomic discrimination, for purposes of animosity, is the opposite of reciprocal altruism.
- ep103 7y agoI have heard the term reciprocal altruism to also cover events such as the following scenario: A country exists with a racial divide, let's say blue/green. A blue person abuses a green person. The green person does not fight back, and takes the abuse, knowing they are powerless in the society. A different blue person, blue person #2, attacks the original blue person. This puts bp#2 at legal and physical risk, even though they were never under any threat of subjugation or abuse from the original attacker. Blue person #2 would be said to have acted in a form of reciprocal altruism for the green person. This type of behavior is often seen, even in situations where BP#2 has little or nothing to personally gain, was never at any risk, and could potentially receive large negative consequences personally for their actions. Clearly blue person #2 was also acting in a manner of animosity, that (more generalized) could or not be considered discrimination, economic or otherwise.
