One of the interesting parts of the ELIZA effect doesn't even involve computers at all: people like people who speak like them. Simply regurgitating a person's words back at them, makes them feel like they are being understood, that there is a bond being formed.

I fucking hate this country context: the Efteling is a theme park which the government funds trips to for families which are here on asylum

Jaser Husseini (39) was twelve when he fled to the Netherlands with his brother and parents. Fleeing the Taliban and fearing for their own lives, his parents hoped to be safe here.

That period wasn't easy, he says, but his first trip to the Efteling made a huge difference for him. "I had no idea what the Efteling was, but it was beautiful. It was like being a child for a while. Not thinking for a while. Just enjoying it, like all the other children around us were enjoying it. It was a completely different world."

'Fleeing is not a holiday'
PVV Minister of Asylum Faber now wants to abolish such trips. "The Netherlands should absolutely not be attractive to come to," the minister gave as motivation for that position. She added: "This is not a holiday resort."

Jaser responds: "Fleeing is not a holiday. As a young child I saw so much war, sorrow and destruction. My 'backpack' did not contain swimming trunks, but war trauma."

Ethnic cleansing was always the plan — and our government cannot pretend it didn’t know. A statement from the Independent Alliance.

This week, Israeli officials approved plans to 'capture' the entire Gaza strip and remain in the Palestinian territory indefinitely.
There is another term for this: ethnic cleansing. This was always the plan - and our government cannot pretend they didn't know. They could have ended all arms sales to Israel and implemented sanctions. They granted endless impunity for Israel's atrocities instead.
Today alone, Israeli air strikes have so far already killed 5 people in Gaza.
Today also marks 64 days of Israel's total humanitarian blockade, which has left more than 65,000 children suffering from severe malnutrition. Israel's latest announcement is nothing new. It is the next stage in an ongoing project: the erasure of the Palestinian people.
Once again, we call on our government to end all arms sales to Israel.
Anything less is complicity in crimes against humanity.
No amount of "deep concern" can make up for the military, economic and political support our government continues to provide. No words can negate the sale of deadly F-35 components. And no statements "urging" Israel to stop can match the impunity it has been granted to carry on.
We will continue to demand a full arms embargo, economic sanctions, and the only path to a just and lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

You sure can tell who paid attention in Civics & Government Classes in School (if the classes were even offered). What is apparent is that 2/3's of the country really does care, but 1/3 is submerged in the authoritarian "me culture" ideal. Both parties have failed; time for a new vision:
