  • I didn’t mention the censorship because he is wrong about that

    I also don’t agree with his quote about “no need for barriers”. I wasn’t aware he had said that.

    He is referring to the poor handling of migration in Europe, which is true. And the general ignoring of popular outrage at how migration is managed.

    That he is a fascist dickhead is indicative of the problem. Many many people who are not racist think migration is handled terribly in Europe and the problem is moderate politicians are hopelessly slow to engage with this and as a result the only people talking about it are fascist nutbags…











  • Simply put, because you often want to change the state of something without breaking all the references to it.

    Wild off the top of my head example: you’re simulating a football game. Everything is represented by objects which hold references to other objects that are relevant. The ball object is held by player object W, player object X is in collision with and holds a reference to player object Y, player Z is forming a plan to pass to player object X (and that plan object holds a reference to player object X) and so on.

    You want to be able to change the state of the ball object (its position say) without creating a new object, because that would invalidate how every other existing object relates to the ball.
