Humans are excellent at anthropomorphising _anything_ for companionship.
We collectively understand why Tom Hanks' character in Castaway makes a 'friend' out of a basketball and becomes attached to it. We also understand that this doesn't mean the basketball is sentient.

Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

I wish we were better to refugees because they're human beings and it's the right thing to do.
If we purely going to be transactional about it though we need to be better to refugees because our grandchildren, if not our children, will be climate refugees trying to escape an unlivable Ireland.

It's a problem in some parts of Irish left wing politics which means having to explain to people that while that one Irish MEP may be correct when talking about Palestine you still might not want to repost them.. because their other opinions are not good.
Shorthand: If someone expresses that US Imperialism is a stain upon the earth whose sin can never be washed clean, but Soviet or Chinese imperialism is either acceptable or just didn't happen, you're talking to a tankie.
