    two things can be true at the same time without being contradictory

    This, but also those contradictions can be blamed on things other than the individuals experiencing them. Like it is genuinely a contradiction that capitalist exploitation is supposed to maximized, but is also unevenly distributed amongst the workers. It would be great to just say “solidarity” and then follow through without that being contingent on an assumed hierarchy of oppression. I’ve actually been trying to get my mutual aid group to donate to the Zapatistas and various water protector groups, but people are worried about getting slammed with charges of these groups every get classified by the feds.
