why is portugal such a poorly developed nation?
Why is portugal such a poorly developed nation?
90% of their population are old people who don't care about development.
Small brains
Define developed, Portugal preserves patrimonial and historical buildings for tourism. Is that what makes Portugal not developed?
Also the previous generation was extremely uneducated becsuse of communism and Salazars dictatorship. Most people had poor education.
But why is it that every rich european wants to move here?
Aren’t all the young ones in Luxembourg?
I blame Germany
shit culture. it's everyone for themselves.
Arab admixture.
We have a chronical dependency on the state. All the (nationally) big businesses depend on state gibs to keep afloat.
The state is run by incompetent fools, and the private sectors manages to delude the population into thinking that we are a qualified people that manages to produce among the best, while same said companies can only survive by sucking out the incompetent state and by keeping illegal monopolies. Basically, we live in a culture of self delusion, where everyday you have stupid news about how we should be proud because we are among the best in every field. It's laughably sad.
Also, the last dictatorship crushed the national spirit, so we ended up with a people that never fights for its own rights. Whenever a a sector (justifiably) goes on strike, you have the media and politicians trying to paint them as the bad guys. It's a culture of "you should eat what you are given and not complain, it could be even worse".
Very sad state of affairs, I hope the milieu changes over there for the better soon.
>"you should eat what you are given and not complain, it could be even worse".
yea. no ambition to make things better. having ambition to grow is frowned upon. I blame ultra religious (catholic) mentality. maybe it'll start changing in a few decades.
I like you Japan
i often listen to meu amor merinheiro!
here's my recommendation
youtu.be
casa portuguesa is a classic
Numa casa portuguesa fica bem
Pão e vinho sobre a mesa
E se à porta humildemente bate alguém,
Senta-se à mesa com a gente
Fica bem essa fraqueza, fica bem,
Que o povo nunca a desmente
A alegria da pobreza
Está nesta grande riqueza
De dar, e ficar contente
Quatro paredes caiadas,
Um cheirinho à alecrim,
Um cacho de uvas doiradas,
Duas rosas num jardim,
Um São José de azulejo
Mais o sol da primavera,
Uma promessa de beijos
Dois braços à minha espera
É uma casa portuguesa, com certeza!
É, com certeza, uma casa portuguesa!
No conforto pobrezinho do meu lar,
Há fartura de carinho
A cortina da janela e o luar,
Mais o sol que bate nela
Basta pouco, poucochinho pra alegrar
Uma existência singela
É só amor, pão e vinho
E um caldo verde, verdinho
A fumegar na tijela
Quatro…
If, by any miracle, a (finally) bloody revolution arises, I will be among the first to participate in the mass slaughter of the incompetent nepotistical "elites" of this "country".
Blame Spain
I wish you safety during the retaking of your homeland from the tyrannical filth. Corrupt nepotist despots deserve nothing less than slaughter.
Thanks, amerifriend.
If the Iberian union hadn't happened Portugal would rule the galaxy by now
Portugal is a developed country. Good healthcare, safe, satisfatory transportation, good roads, welfare state... The salaries are shit and we have a lot of taxes. Still there's a ot of people with money.
can you post a picture of your roads?
>good roads
ehh
>good roads
Lol
Anyone have that pic of the border between Spain and Portugal, with the difference in road quality?
Poverty create soul. Suffering create strong men. That's why Portugal > Spain > Western europe.
how come africa is a shithole with shit people for most
i agree with your theory, but it's only a part of the deal, difficulties increases your basic points, good becomes better, bad becomes worse
I was talking about developed/ing countries with basic freedoms and social institutions, like free high education etc.
E.g. Scandinavians are absolutely soulless
i dont think they are bad people tho, they just lack that necessary stress that is good to personal development
if taken out from there and put in harshness most of them would do good me thinks
poverty in a developed country is pretty relative tho, you could call everything after food and heating optional after all, and beside hobos (which only lack the latter most of times) there arent many in that situation
I don't believe in forcing your people to have worse conditions, but obviously, people who successfully struggle grow up to tougher. However, a lot of them don't make it (suicide rates in Russia are a good indicator).
Sure, just talking about why Portugal is better in such terms. And they are important.
I'm not talking that life in such countries is happy, probably not always. But soul doesn't correlate with suicide levels
Based and Galaxypilled
Shit timeline.
so that's why we're poor! colours on maps!
>that quarter of N3
if I had 700k euros, could I live like a King in portugal? I only speak English but I could probably learn Portuguese. Where is a good place to live?
>Red sea african admixture
brainlet
Catholicism.
N uralic haplogroup you retard
Keep out.
more like moNgolic lmao
Mostly North Russians
pretty much. try Cascais.
Not like a king, if you plan to live at least 20 more years.
All the scum that lives in this hellhole are equally subhuman anyway.
Lol, Poortugalia
>even a shithole like Lithuania is richer than them
wow shes pretty
>Run by unironic literal Socialists and commies for decades
>Ridiculously fucking high taxes and fines on everything to a point it's almost intolerable (they will bleed you dry)
>Over inflated massive government (that's also full of highly disorganized burocracy)
>Terrible slav tier wages
>Public sectors/works are full of stupid unqualified people that are like a clog in a wheel keeping it from functioning
>Population is cowardly,never revolt never organise (just bitch). Eat it and shut up type of people
>Rampant corruption
>Dying population. Has in we have a TON of elderly pension receivers and all the young people are leaving this shit hole
>Anti nationalist retoric/influx of constant foreigners
>Society and government in general treats businessman and entrepreneurs like shit making them leave the country elsewhere when they are treated nicely and appreciated
>Jealousy and impotent rage
>The only "opposition" are highly cringy Larpers with horrible ideas
>Nobody wants to have more kids(I don't blame them,good luck supporting one even less two children)
Dying people, dying country. Only reason this hasn't turned into memezuela is because we survive of gibs given by the E.U like leeches.
>poordeveloptugal
Most of their GDP goes towards funding Ronaldo's marketing campaigns
no kidding
Its not.
Youve only had higher GDP per capita than Portugal for like 2-3 years while for the 50 years before Portugalia has been incomparably wealthier than Lithuania so Portuguese people managed to accumulate capital Lithuanians don't have.
It's enough to compare average Portuguese middle class neighborhood to anything in Eastern Europe to realize how much we need to catch up with them in terms of living standards.
It is unironically our fault. If Spain was more developed we would have imported more stuff from them. Some of the poorest regions in Spain are the ones bordering portugal
Guys are Portuguese North Africans or not? What does North African indicate on results such as Ancestry.com. Please please please somebody reassure me that I'm not a nigger (not that there's anything wrong with that).
>welfare state
I guess cuba and north korea are peak development then
Hello,we are western europe
Thanks
Time for Iberian Union 2.0
>It's our fault
No It isn't.
Your a nigger,nigger.
okay, nikita
Exactly. Just imagine, instead of a virgin flag on the moon, there would be a chad padrão made of stone
