      Because unfortunately we are also full of them on this side of the Atlantic. Chega is already the second most voted party in Portugal and supports the Reconquista group, whose leader, Afonso Gonçalves, is the guy on the right in the image above.

      This time the disease appears to be spreading from the new world to the old one. There are many pro-Trump Luso-American businessmen investing in Chega.

      P.S.: We’ll see what the reaction of these idiots will be the day that the dementia reminds Trump that he would like to turn the Azores into an Eastern Hawaii. After the Greenland controversy, it doesn’t seem like such an impossible scenario.

    Portuguese people HATE fascists. You don’t even have to be that old in Portugal to remember living under a fascist dictator.

    But I guess that doesn’t stop the lunatic fringe.

    Also, most Portuguese people look hispanic so I really wonder how an ICE-like force there would go…

      Hi from Portugal. Chega (far right) is a major party in parliament right now (1/3) and arguably PSD (another 1/3) has gone far right lately especially on immigration. So we basically have two out of three parties who are far-right.

      One of them even talked in parliament about “diluting Portuguese blood” and “keeping Portugal for the Portuguese”, right before they voted to retroactively prevent all the foreigners from being allowed to apply for nationality, and prevent most of the southeast Asians from being eligible to renew their residency.

      They are also talking about trying to amend the constitution, not to put anything good in there.

      So uh, you sure about that?

        Hi, thanks for the info. That’s uhh, concerning.

        I guess the far right is on the rise everywhere, but I would have thought it would get quashed when the world saw the US go ass up. Unfortunately, it seems I was wrong.

        When I was in Portugal not that long ago, everyone I talked to seemed to be fairly anti-fascist. But maybe there was some selection bias at play.

        I don’t know what else to tell you. It sucks watching one’s country slide into fascism. It sucks watching the world slide into fascism. I wish I had better answers than that…

          Hey! Another input from a Portuguese (without any meaningful information, just my vibes and feelings): Regarding your selection bias, up until recently I think a lot of people were ashamed of being fascist (I only met one teacher that said “… but our past dictator made Portugal rich!!!”), so most people would pretend to align with anti fascism. Nowadays it has been normalized and people yell bs without hesitating :(

          I believe that we will have a fascist revolution before de-fascistizing the country. I just hope I can retire and live peacefully in a non-fascist Portugal :(

          (Sorry if my comment is confusing, I just woke up and this post made me sad :( I felt the need to comment)

            Thanks for your input. I always appreciate a local’s perspective.

            That makes sense I think. It’s a lot like what happened in the US. The fascists were always there, but whether they were ashamed or not they knew better than to be out in the open with it. Now, they feel like they have permission, and its been masks-off.

            I hope everyone gets to retire and live peacefully in a non-fascist world. I don’t know how many generations it will be before that’s possible though. I used to believe that good will always prevail, but now I’m under no such pretenses. The universe has no moral bias, unfortunately…

                The messages I’m referencing were released via his estate by subpoena, by the house oversight committee. They are instant messages via whatever osx has by default (iChat?). Its really insane to me no one has pointed it out elsewhere. Anyway if you want to go through them they can be grabbed here. They are all in .txt format.

                He also had multiple books in his digital files, a lot of them relating to AGI, among other things.

          These things take time. Unfortunately, life still isn’t bad enough for the average American, so shit can still go on like this without any revolts. And as long as that’s not happening, this shit can still happen to many countries before people learn again.

      I’m Portuguese. I wish that were true, but unfortunately it isn’t. Currently at least 1/3 of Portuguese people love fascism. Ventura, leader of the far-right Chega party, has even stated that Portugal needs not one but three Salazars without losing popularity for it. Currently, they are the second most voted party, having surpassed the PS (center-left) in the last elections. And the ruling party, PSD, supposedly center-right, has been adopting increasingly extreme measures in an attempt to compete with its newest rival.

      P.S.: By the way, looking hispanic isn’t very relevant here. The concept of “white” in Europe is different from that used in North America. Fascists here generally prefer to use the name of the largest ethnic group in the country they are in instead of “white” as the superior group. “White” here is even used in certain more radical circles to refer to a mixed person of different European “races” who cannot trace their ancestry to a single “pure” nationality. Basically, many “white” Americans could be seen as “mutts” by some of these lunatics.

      Portuguese people do not look hispanic, they can be swarthy, like all mediteranian peoples in southern europe. They are not all that swarthy either in comparison. Maybe they had some hispanics emmigrate, it’s a minority.

            Demographics? Did I miss your population and birth-rate calculations in the comment I replied to? You were talking about Portuguese people not being Hispanic. Did you notice Spain is in that word? The word Hispanic means spanish-speaking people. “Swarthiness” or any physical appearance has nothing to do with being Hispanic. Spain and Portugal are neighbours if you didn’t know and there is no Chinese wall between the two countries. So yes, you saying Portuguese people have certain physical attributes is by definition racist. So yes, fuck you you racist piece of shit. And apparently you’re also stupid, since I had to explain this shit to yoi. And you probably still don’t get it you idiot.

              I’m sure they have a sizable number of immigrants from Hispanic countries. How would that even work? Where you think the Portuguese are Hispanic? Like, I wouldn’t even know where to start on that. Seriously bro.

              Edit: here is Wikipedia with the statistics, 35% of their immigrant population is hispanic, and it is sizable, not the largest.

      It’s always sunny vibes, the pedophile uncle of charlie obsessed with his small hands, wearing fake large hands.

      Bovino is only 5 foot tall so he’s likely self conscious about his, er, sizes, and got some oversized clown shoes like whatshis face, the woke guy, Desantis. He did something similar with his boots to look bigger.

      Given that Bovino commited his crimes in the US, the ICC has no mandate. Unless, you know of crimes he committed in Mexico or Canada. That would change things and might make it a matter for the ICC.

      Should have Portugal denied entry? Maybe but I guess people just don’t care enough about some random failure like Bovino.
