It seems like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You state you aren't trying to invalidate anything, but then you are saying people having different priorities than you are "deeply disturbing." Get over yourself and be honest. Stop trying to imply your just trying to understand when it's clear that's not at all what you are trying to do.

I’m honest. You are drawing a false equivalence between very different things.

I’ll make this very simple for you. What you said was deeply disturbing in the same way as it would be for someone to suggest that theft is worse than murder because of their different priorities.

It is possible for your priorities to suck. Perhaps it’s a matter of opinion, but that’s absolutely meaningless. You could say the same about racism, would that make it better? I don’t think so.
