Thanks for posting that very relevant reddit. Oddly enough - and this is not a point that we should all get religious - to anyone brought up in church traditions (and rejected them or not) it likely reminds them of the parable of the good Samaritan. The idea that the guy you look down upon is actually the guy that may well be the one that helps you in your hour of need. The learning obviously being that you shoudl stop being such a snotty git and love your neigbour.
You don't need to be religious to love this story, but it's worth noting that this is ancient and useful wisdom from sages of older times. (and, why I tend to reject organised religions nowadays, the kind of good thing co-opted, hegemonised and bastardised into all sorts of controlling and political things by subsequent institutions)
