Portuguese are horrible people

Portuguese mentality

This article is not about the (genuinely) decent and upstanding Portuguese, albeit not more than 5%, as I perceive it and according to my anecdotal experience, but about the remaining 95% made up of crooks, idiots as as well as the conniving/passive/simpletons who constantly look the other way (which makes them equally guilty/responsible for the perpetual tragic situation) who, for a variety of reasons, turn life in Portugal a hell and a very dangerous and unhappy place to live in, with the real potential to destroy your life due to all the unbridled madness, lawlessness and the covert dictatorship.

Extremely dangerous! In Portugal you play Russian roulette with your life (well-being) every day, without knowing it! Don’t believe any of the Portuguese propaganda and brainwashing, often in collusion with the Portuguese media! Both for external and internal consumption. They are compulsive liars and hide everything from the population!

Don’t believe the “international awards” either, most of them are bought.

Portugal is a country full of deadly mines where you least expect them and where almost nothing is what it seems.

This article is about the experience of living in Portugal for several years, integrated and living in the country as if you were any other native citizen who needs the system and its people to make a living.
If you visit Portugal simply as a tourist, you will most likely have a very pleasant experience in contact with the Portuguese, who are generally very friendly people, but unfortunately most of the time this is nothing more than a mask that hides a very dark Portugal.

Behind the facade of apparent normality, you will find out the worst way how horrible the Portuguese are if you live there long enough, bearing no resemblance to any other place in the world. Honestly, Portugal is a country of crooks and undiagnosed mentally deficient people. My nine years’ experience as an expat/immigrant in Portugal has shown me how devious things can get. Deep down, the Portuguese are only happy when they see others suffering, and that doesn’t spare their own family members. They rejoice in the misfortune of others and even make jokes about it, this includes the detestable people of the law in Portugal, as happened to me.

When a Portuguese sees someone, no matter who, who has managed, for example, to buy a nice car, a nice house, whatever… The Portuguese won’t think something positive like: “Good for him, if he can do it, so can I, as long as I work harder and smarter.” The wicked Portuguese will turn green with envy and will do everything to machinate that person (behind your back, of course, as the Portuguese are the most cowardly people I’ve ever seen, after all, all crooks are cowards) and it’s completely irrelevant whether it’s a relative or not, he/she will certainly dream every night that you have a very nasty accident with that beautiful new car that makes you so happy. Awful but true!

The Portuguese are, above all, excruciatingly envious of happy people. They can’t stand to see anyone happy.

One of the Portuguese’s favorite “sports” is to cowardly puncture the tires of their neighbor’s car, putting nails, screws, whatever behind the tires when no one is looking. It happened to me, but unfortunately I only realized that something very suspicious was going on when I was punctured for the third time in the same month. As if that wasn’t enough, this bastard also loved to throw cigarette butts (out of his window) at the top of my car, in a clear attempt to burn the paintwork, as there were always lots of cigarette butts very close to my car.

A Portuguese lawyer told me, in the most blasé way possible, that it’s normal to happen if the Portuguese judge suspects or knows that you have a nice car, a nice house, or whatever it is that he/she envies you, (not exactly those words, but the same meaning, referring to my particular case). So, because he/she has this grudge against you, this judge will destroy your in a heartbeat with a signature and a big smile on his/her face. It is extremely disturbing that, for these people, this is perfectly normal and acceptable, because they don’t even realize that there is something terribly disturbing and criminal about this behavior. These “judges” are committing a heinous crime by acquitting and protecting criminals based of their personal prejudices. This is not normal! Precisely when society counts on and most needs a judge as a last and proper resort to live up to its highest moral standards and do its fundamental job of applying the law and protecting the innocent.
When you talk to a Portuguese person until you are blue in the face about these monstrous scandals that happen every day in the Portuguese justice system or about the corrupt and dirty Portuguese politicians who steal billions of euros from the pockets of the Portuguese taxpayers and the European Union, the Portuguese just tighten their lips and look at you with a zombie face without any reaction, as if you were crazy for talking about it and stating the glaring (very dangerous) truth, or they laugh like freaks and find the seriousness of what you’re talking about very funny.

In this respect, it is impossible to talk about serious or extremely grave matters with the Portuguese, most of the time they find everything that’s not for laughs very funny, or they also say something extremely stupid and nonsensical about it, and often even revolting.

The Portuguese justice system is a monstrous fraud, which includes Portuguese lawyers, all of whom are chasing the most profitable Portuguese business ever, the victim business! The business of exploiting and robbing the victims of their very last cent and drop of blood until there is nothing more left to take from them. In true democracies victims are protected and heard, but in Portugal they are just a commodity and a tremendously profitable one.

Portugal is, in practical terms, a dictatorship of crooks (and idiots and mediocrities), admired by a population that is broadly the same and shares the same objectives, truly it is all a BIG SCAM, but they call themselves a democracy just to primarily continue to cheat the EU, so the EU keeps sending billions of Euros in handouts to the corrupt Portuguese to feed their luxurious lives with the hard earned money of the European taxpayers. Mine and yours, if you’re an EU citizen.

In my nine wasted years in this horrible place called Poortugal, I only met acquaintances, I never found anyone I could call a friend or who treated me (sincerely) as a friend. The Portuguese are not people who can be trusted, not even with banalities, because the more information they have about you, the more dangerous your life becomes, not necessarily physically, but in everything else, due to the Portuguese being very envious people (I’ve never seen a country with such envious people as Portugal) and have many inferiority complexes. Even among them, there are no real friends, only self-interest (they are always backstabbing each other, including within their own families). Portuguese are generally very mean and toxic people to hang out with.
Without a doubt, most of the time there is a very negative and depressing aura of energy around the Portuguese when you get to know them better. It’s weird.

Portugal has the typical misery of dictatorships, a mixture of economic misery and a deep, lingering sadness.

When you need Portuguese people for something, you usually get screwed. Unfortunately, most foreigners find this out sooner or later.

Actually everywhere you look in Portugal is tremendously depressing; the dirty streets, the neglected buildings, the pauper shop windows, the cars falling apart… It’s really bad… (Except for the most touristic areas. However, I must say that compared to other European countries, Portugal has very few historical sites worth visiting, besides most of the monuments and historical sites are dirty, very poorly preserved and managed.)

For the Portuguese, lying is as natural as breathing, it’s institutionalized. I was astonished when I witnessed that lying has no weight whatsoever, even in court, absolutely zero, and even less when it’s the criminal or the prosecutor who lies.

I am very convinced that most of the Portuguese don’t distinguish between right and wrong, there is no such thing as scruples, very seriously, they don’t really know the true meaning of the words: honesty, honor, ethics, morals, decency, truth, justice, friendship, reliability, loyalty, integrity, democracy, freedom of expression, rights and duties, citizenship, civility, community, shame… Very sadly, most Portuguese only know and take care of what is good for themselves. They have no moral values and are incapable of any kind of (not fake) empathy towards others. For many, their only value is; what’s yours is mine (whenever they get the chance). The Portuguese have all their values reversed.

Portugal is such a bad place and devoid of any trace of real humanity (i.e. empathy, justice, solidarity…) that even if you have money, you can never get any real help. In fact, if you have money, it’s even worse for you, because you keep suffering more and more from the problems and the monsters you meet along the way, including lawyers and the justice system, who are only interested in taking any money you “still” have, for nothing, until you are literally bankrupt, if you don’t get out in time.

Ironically, it’s when you’re at your happiest that you run the greatest risk of a financial catastrophe happening in your life, like a big fraud, because you let your guard down and they take advantage of your positive emotions. Be very careful, in Portugal they don’t hesitate for a second to take advantage of people’s happiness to literally destroy their lives straight away!

Definitely most Portuguese are swindlers, they just want your money! Be very, very careful if you give your money to a Portuguese, especially if it is a large sum, take maximum precautions, but even so, we will never know, because there is a high probability (compared to a developed country) that you will NEVER, EVER get it back! And if you go to a lawyer, (as is normal in any “normal” country, but you are in Poortugal), the Portuguese lawyer will just take advantage of your desperation to also con you and take all your money to resolve nothing, then the court will also rob you by charging you exorbitant fees, taxes and after many and many years of humiliation, waiting and repeatedly paying exorbitant sums to crooked lawyers and fraudulent Portuguese courts all you get is an insulting, preposterous and inconsequential judicial sentence and the acquittal of the criminal in the most flagrant disregard of the law with a complementary smile from the Portuguese judge.
You will receive lots of “arquivamento” (which means dismissed/filed, your case wasn’t even accepted by the court). Note that every time you appeal the “arquivamento” you will have to pay the Portuguese lawyers and courts all over again. This is how the farcical Portuguese legal system makes a fortune out of the desperation of its victims in this truly horrible fake “country” called Portugal.

There is probably nothing more stupid and criminal in the world than a Portuguese judge.
In fact, the majority of Portuguese are not fit to be judges, public prosecutors, lawyers and politicians, as they are totally unqualified to perform these absolutely crucial functions in any real democracy, which require acute intelligence, common sense and above all exceptional ethics and morals, the exact opposite of what the majority of Portuguese people are.

Actually, in my view, I don’t even think that the Portuguese are qualified or deserve to have their own country. In fact, Portugal is so full of unpunished criminals and evil people, like nowhere else in the world, that if the world were totally just, this truly diabolical place should simply be dismantled for the good of humanity.

The Portuguese often attribute everything that happens in their lives, including their own future, to God’s will. It’s actually a very lazy and convenient way of not taking responsibility for one’s own actions and decisions. Many of the most despicable and dishonest people are often the most pious, going to church every Sunday and always talking about Jesus, God and the Bible. They use the cloak of religion to hide their venom and their true selves (but not everyone is like that, of course).

You cannot carry adult conversations with adults in Portugal, because in general, the Portuguese are extremely difficult people to engage in an intelligent and meaningful conversation with, since we hear so much drivel and stupidity that our brains just want to shut down to end the agony, or else we just have to resort to talking about silly things with them, which they seem to love. In Portugal you’re always being intellectually assaulted, from everywhere.
Portugal is also a very infantilized society, most people seem to have a mental age of ten. There are no adults in Portugal. It’s children having children.

As a general rule, socializing with Portuguese condemns you to failure due to their toxic and defeated personality.

No one can achieve greatness by mixing with mediocre people, on the contrary, you’ll become mediocre too (unintentionally).

Mediocre people don’t want to work, learn and improve, they rather want people who work hard, like to learn and have talent to become mediocre like them.

It’s very difficult to be ourselves among the Portuguese, because they are intellectually and culturally very closed and inflexible people. What I mean is that they are extremely closed to the “outside” world and to other people who might think differently from them, and also because they are very basic people and don’t give a sh*t about the world and other cultures.

The Portuguese hate to talk about serious matters, let alone criticize the decrepit state of their country, plagued by corruption, injustice and authorized thieves (to the point where Portuguese democracy has in fact been annulled, but no Portuguese realizes it!), conversely, they also hate to hear anyone praise the advantages of other countries. How can they improve their thoroughly broken country if no one criticizes anything or is willing to learn from the good and bad examples of others?
This fear of being criticized and aversion to praising others boils down to deep feelings of envy and inferiority complexes.

If you want to know anything serious and “real” about Portugal, the very last person you should ask is a Portuguese.

On a side note; I never envy anything or anyone (it only diminishes us), the good things we see should always serve as a source of inspiration and learning to improve ourselves and our lives, in my opinion.

Among other things, happiness lies in finding a goal in life, and putting in as much effort as possible to achieve it, something you’ll never be able to do successfully in extremely dysfunctional, evil and toxic Portugal, no matter what.

A group of Portuguese talking most of the time is like watching an endless chain reaction of unleashed stupidity. The Portuguese are completely devoid of any kind of common sense.

The Portuguese are seriously ignorant, illiterate and narrow-minded, including, amazingly, university graduates (it seems that instead of a brain they have a stone in their head, since they can’t change their rusty middle-aged ideas). Portugal is a country stood still in time. They are a people who neither have nor show interest or curiosity in anything more “complex” or “abstract”, but only in the little things of their petty lives and are only willing to learn what is strictly necessary in order to keep their jobs and not get fired. The Portuguese have no ambitions, no dreams, whatsoever! Just sad, empty, resigned and submissive minds and lives. Indeed, most Portuguese minds are a very, very dark place.

Most Portuguese don’t live, they just exist. They’re just waiting for the next day.

Which means that the Portuguese are exactly the perfect “docile” citizens to live under a dictatorship, because they don’t even care about it!

Actually, the phrase most often on the lips (and hidden in the minds) of the Portuguese is: “I don’t care!”.

Except for their football club, the Portuguese have no (real and serious) opinion about anything. Unlike in true democracies, there is no public opinion in Portugal, which is fatal, because public opinion is the essence, the heart that gives life and meaning to democracy.

People without any kind of intellectual curiosity is a solid sign of low intelligence, and by the way a generalized degree of mental deficiency is clearly noticeable in some of the Portuguese population, if you’ve lived there for some time you’ll know what I’m talking about. For some reason Brazilians call the Portuguese dumb and make a lot of jokes about them. As far as I’m concerned, I can fully attest to this bottomless Portuguese dumbness.

Most Portuguese lack a real capacity for empathy, which is another sure sign of low intelligence and primitive minds, and which in itself is the cause of the Portuguese’s total lack of a sense of citizenship, i.e. caring for and respecting other citizens and not just selfishly looking out for themselves, as the Portuguese do. Democracy is being aware that you are a citizen among other citizens who have the same rights and duties as you. That’s why democracy is a TOTAL failure in Portugal. The Portuguese have no sense of citizenship and because of that, evil has taken over their “democracy”.

Unlike all other countries, with the exception of dictatorships, in Portugal there are virtually no spontaneous expressions of solidarity, be it public demonstrations, social media, other media, small or large, with their fellow citizens when it comes to, for example, outrageous cases of egregious injustice and violations of the most basic human rights practiced by the fraudulent Portuguese courts on a daily basis against their own citizens, which would bring any other country to its knees. Unfortunately, the truth is that the overwhelming majority of the Portuguese people actually take a sadistic pleasure in hearing about these cases of atrocious emotional and psychological suffering of others, or they simply don’t give a rat’s ass because there is nothing human about them.

The Portuguese are only friendly on the surface, inside they are an ice cube.

Not to mention the total impunity for the massive and incessant theft of public funds by the generally corrupt ruling classes, which the incredibly stupid Portuguese, for the most part, find hilarious!

All this coldness of the Portuguese, guided only by the most primal and animal instincts, which are not compatible with what makes us human and distinct from irrational animals, often makes us feel that we are dealing with an entire society of Stone Age people.

The truth is that there is not even a society in Portugal, just a bunch of savages looking out for themselves, no matter who has been hurt, no matter whose life has been ruined, no matter who has been wronged, no matter who has been robbed. Nobody cares about anybody in Portugal.

If we remain indifferent to the injustice and suffering of others, sooner or later we too will suffer the same fate. Democracy lives in each one of us and in the collective of the people, who must be active and vigilant citizens. When almost everyone constantly looks the other way, democracy dies and is SURELY taken over by criminals, as was the case in Portugal. And the great danger this poses for you is that the Portuguese don’t care or even comprehend what has happened to their country.

In general, the Portuguese are rather gloomy people, many look unhealthy and aged, especially when they are over forty, in some localities they look very sad and miserable and strangely they seem to be always falling forward and walk extremely slowly, as well as most of the time we can see them carrying a plastic bag or two. Occasionally, but much more than I would have expected, I saw many dragging their feet and limping. I’ve never seen so many lame people in one country (except in a country at war). I don’t know, but this must be caused by the lousy Portuguese public hospitals, you can come out worse than you went in and sometimes in a black bag. Portuguese public hospitals can be slaughterhouses. Professionals are miserably paid, apart from the higher ranked ones, and work long hours without adequate rest, when there are even doctors available to assist you, but primarily due to a lot of incompetence and irresponsibility. The problem with Portuguese public hospitals is that most of the time there are no issues, I think, but the probability of things going (extremely) wrong is very high, compared to a developed country, due to many random and idiotic reasons. Portuguese hospitals are like casinos, but the prizes are maladies and death. That is, when 112 answers and the ambulance doesn’t take years to get to you.

Poortugal looks and smells poor almost everywhere you go.

Many Portuguese have a very strange way of greeting each other. In every country we say something like: “Hello! How are you?” and the other person will reply something like: “I’m fine, thank you!”. In Portugal it’s different, we say; “Hello! How are you?” and many (not all) answer; “Vou andando…” which translates into something like; “I’m dragging myself…” and if we say we’re fine like; “Esta tudo biem!” they look at us with a disappointed face, because they expect us to answer something even worse like; “I’m bursting with arthritis pain!”, so they can feel happy for the rest of the day.

Once I was in a Portuguese post office and while the clerk was assisting me, she was also chatting at length with two other colleagues, and then to my astonishment, I heard her say to her colleagues “It’s a good thing that I’m getting old, this way I’m closer to retirement” (a woman maybe only in her late forties, a young person in my opinion). Wow! This perfectly reflects the “fighting spirit” of the Portuguese people (sarc). Is it possible to be more defeatist, you can change job, you can change country, you can change everything if you really mind it, but giving up living? No wonder Portugal is what it is… I have no doubt that most Portuguese reach the age of 40 and start thinking about retirement.

Portugal is a country of mostly elderly people and young, middle-aged people who already feel old with exactly the same old ideas, the same conversations, the same conformism and lack of dreams, and even the same mannerisms. There is no generation gap in Portugal.

Generally speaking, children become perfect clones of their parents regarding toxic mentality, backwardness, primitive habits and culture, as well as total absence of moral values, also due to the very poor education of the majority of Portuguese parents.

Most Portuguese don’t know being parents because they don’t even know how to take care of them.

Very strangely, I’ve also noticed that most of the streets in any big or small city in Portugal, apart from the tourist areas, are almost always empty or with very few people, i.e. Portuguese people, lifeless streets, no human sounds, voices, laughter. Very bizarre and gloomy.

In addition, the Portuguese, in general, are also very lazy and incompetent, and it doesn’t matter if he/she is a bricklayer or a lawyer. In this respect, I’ve discovered that, deep down, the Portuguese are mentally very similar, the only thing that changes is the title of the profession.
They say this proverb and then laugh “Não é para fazer, é para se fazendo”, which roughly translates to – It’s not to do, it’s to keep doing and keep doing and keep doing… (so without ever finishing the task). They also have another saying: “Lei do menos esforso” The law of least effort. So, this “culture” and lack of work ethic explains very well why Portugal is such a backward and eternally postponed country.

Compared to developed countries, Portuguese roads can be (very) dangerous, so it’s very prudent to drive defensively and be very alert when driving in Portugal, because there are too many Portuguese drivers who are idiots on wheels and there is a general lack of civility. Only by driving defensively have I avoided many accidents, some of which could, perhaps, have been fatal, in addition, if you do have an accident the insurance company will send you straight to court, which you will most certainly lose, after spending a fortune and trashing at least a decade of your life.

Many Portuguese drive too fast and recklessly or too slow and foolishly.

Also be very careful when crossing crosswalks. Before crossing, make sure the car is really stopping, otherwise you could be hit by a car. I’ve seen many near misses!

If a Portuguese is lucky enough to have a better salary, many will turn into futile and outrageous human beings, empty shells covered with brands and accessories. This type of person lives only on appearances, sustained by huge credit card debts. They don’t know that it’s not the outside that counts, but the inside (a cliché, but very true). This type of person needs all these paraphernalia to validate themselves. Just because they wear brands, they automatically think they’re better than everyone else. They measure themselves by the number of brands they display and not by their intrinsic value as human beings. Don’t get me wrong, I love good things and good quality/price brands, but those things don’t define me, of course.
I’ve also witnessed a couple throw away almost new (good quality) clothes, shoes, bags, etc. with frightening regularity and then go on a shopping spree to buy them all again just for the sake of buying more stuff, but what frightened me the most was seeing these sick people criminally throwing supermarket bags full of unopened food packaging in perfect condition into the garbage bin! (However, I don’t believe this is a common occurrence though, it was just one couple I saw doing it).

I sometimes use the “heavy” words, mental deficiency to describe some Portuguese people because, frankly, there is no other way to properly describe the extremely disconcerting, disturbing and bizarre behavior of many of them, their constantly preposterous and bizarre responses to serious issues, their boundless rudeness (it doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, the level of rudeness, impudence, contempt and shocking lack of respect can be staggering and so infuriating and it comes from where you least expect it), and especially their total lack of empathy, not human. Of course, it can’t just be plain stupidity, it has to be something else that comes from their very bad genes! There’s definitely something very wrong with the Portuguese people’s heads. (These aspects reveal themselves above all when you need them most, in serious situations (i.e. happened with some of my lawyers), or when you’ve known them for a while, and not necessarily in casual situations). However, the total absence of empathy of the Portuguese people in general is innate, very profound and chilling (and above all not human).

The Portuguese are also the world’s greatest experts at cynically distorting facts and the truth out of sheer malice and infinite stupidity, as I’ve never seen anywhere else.

It is well known that from the beginning of Portuguese history until today there has been a lot of inbreeding and alcohol abuse, starting in the villages and reaching the big cities in the poorest areas, and that it takes place within the family secret (it also happens with animals, but that’s another story), and as frightening as it is, it is still very common among the poorest people for Portuguese children to consume alcohol, provided by their OWN parents and relatives, something they call “sopa do cavalo cansado” – a very toxic mixture of bread and alcohol (more alcohol than bread) that is given to children out of gross negligence, laziness and sheer ignorance, which has obviously seriously deteriorated Portuguese genetics and continues to do so.

The Portuguese are very racist and xenophobic towards Europeans and Americans and indeed, bizarrely, towards ALL aspects of foreign cultures in general. An anecdote: Once I was on a terrace and heard a Portuguese woman praising French cheeses, and immediately a spiteful Portuguese man at the table with her got angry at her and said, “Why are you talking about French cheeses?! We have very good cheeses!” How pathetic! Even with foreign food, the Portuguese are “racist”! I’m sure the Portuguese are also “racist” towards the natural landscapes and cities of other countries!
Their country is a utterly dysfunctional and undemocratic society (its state institutions are a veritable fraud posing as a democracy), but they like to shout that Portugal is one of the best and the greatest countries to live in, (during Euro 2021, there was a very awkward and embarrassing campaign in all Portuguese media stating the following: “We are Giants! We are Huge! We are the Best!”. Is it possible to be more pathetic?! An eternally bankrupt country always with outstretched hands perpetually living off other people’s generosity and money! Really!? How can you be great if you live permanently on the dole? On the other hand, they love to bash Europeans and Americans, which only reveals their sheer ignorance, stupidity and inferiority complex. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be great, quite the opposite, but you have to work for it, right?! And it clearly doesn’t help to live perpetually on the dole of other countries.

Only when you, Portuguese, start to give to others, will you be able to say, if you wish, that you are a great country. However, when you are REALLY great, you are also modest.

Unfortunately, the only thing in which Portugal is indisputably the best in the whole world is crookedness and mediocrity!

The Portuguese are probably the most cowardly and spineless people in the world, as they would rather bury their heads in the sand than fight and claw back their country from the criminals who have usurped their democracy. However, this will never happen because for most of them it is: “If I could I would do the same”, “Too bad it’s not me”, and so on… There are no MEN and WOMEN with capital letters in Portugal.

Poortuguese actually admire dishonest people. We hear people say all the time that the scum are very intelligent and sophisticated, but they never call them corrupt, crooks or thieves. It’s as if there are no bad people in Portugal! (And they like it even more when it’s the president of their beloved football club who’s a big-time crook).
They even defend them, including journalists and commentators on television and in the media in general (literally or by not telling the whole truth). Only a crook and an idiot could say that another crook is clever and sophisticated, but not a crook. (What is clever about taking other people’s money?) Your lawyer, whom you pay dearly, will tell you the same thing and even find it very funny! Portuguese people are truly insane!

Have you ever noticed that all the people who say that crooks are very smart people and not criminals are always losers? I’ve never seen a person who is intelligent and successful by talent and merit (apart from being decent, of course) admire crooks. That’s why the vast majority of Poortuguese admire crooks, because they were born big losers and will die big losers, and they know it every day when they look at their ugly mugs in the mirror.

Moreover, it’s very easy to be a con artist in Portugal. Even a monkey could be one, all the thief has to do is simply keep other people’s money for whatever pretext (it doesn’t even have to be a scheme, it can indeed be any kind of legitimate business), and it is absolutely certain that nothing will happen to the thief under the law, on the contrary, the thief will be protected tooth and nail by the Portuguese dictatorial “inJustice” system. Also be very aware that all the supposedly “legal” documents and contracts are of no “real” use and do not provide any “real” protection in Portugal, so, in case you are defrauded, you are automatically screwed FOREVER, 99.9% of the time! The Poortuguese State itself is a con artist!

In Portugal, you can’t trust anything or any amount that you can’t afford to lose, because if you get robbed (defrauded), it’s final, there’s no safety net, it’s all fake.
And if you try to recover the stolen money (or any other kind of value in general), the only thing that will happen is that you’ll lose a lot more money, your life will come to a halt, and endless years will be wasted when you could be doing a lot more interesting things with your precious life. This is guaranteed to happen 99.9% of the time.

Literally, when you hand over your money to someone in Portugal, especially large sums, there is nothing, ABSOLUTELY nothing “lawful” (real), to stop that person from taking your money, and that thief will still be protected by the law against you, the stolen victim.

That’s why the greatest security you can give yourself in Poortugal is not needing anything or anyone like a hospital, a doctor, insurance, a lawyer or even mundane things like a plumber, an electrician, etc. In other words, you can never get sick and you have to be as independent as possible.

Because in Poortugal you can only rely on yourself.

The truth is that literally ANY and EVERY legal business in Portugal can be a long-standing authorized scam or a major fraud, sanctioned and protected by law, and no one will warn you and it’s not even written down anywhere! For foreigners it’s even more dangerous because we are much more vulnerable. That’s why the most coveted prize for a Portuguese crook is to steal money from a foreigner.

Ironically, the more money you have, the more danger you run in Poortugal, for the simple fact that you are carrying a big target on your back when you have a lot of coveted valuables that can be stolen or “lost” legally or in some other completely arbitrary and erratic way (including for the swindling Portuguese state), such as; depositing the money in a Portuguese bank and it “disappears” overnight with all your money (it happens all the time)! I can’t say it enough: NEVER bring your money to Portugal! EVER! EVER! EVER!
There are 1000 ways to get stolen in Portugal and they are all legal (explicitly or in practice).

In Portugal, even donations and charities are pretty much all scams, especially when it comes to giving money. No matter how kind-hearted you are, unfortunately you can never trust any.

A truly egregious example of this for its enormous human dimension was that even in a disaster as terrible as the devastating fire of Pedrógão Grande in 2017, which caused 66 deaths and 253 injuries, destroyed about 500 homes, of which 261 were permanent homes, and 50 businesses, the victims were stolen, most of whom never received the aid that was supposed to be for them, including millions of euros in personal donations, and many people even went hungry without access to food. These people, left without homes or anything else, were stolen by the mayor himself, his family and friends. They took practically all of the victims’ money, and in the end they were all acquitted by the farcical Poortuguese courts, as always! Portugal is a country of criminals and monsters like nowhere else in the world, starting with the endless criminals who are part of the state machine itself! Portugal is a truly odious country that seriously should and must be abolished because it has no use in the world except to shelter and protect criminals!

In Portugal, if you are swindled, you can’t even say you were robbed by a crook, because according to the authorities, you are defaming the honor of an honorable person, and you will pay dearly for that sin. The only name I can give to such a place is the land of Satan. Portugal is definitely the land of Satan! Run as fast as you can!

So, almost everything in Portugal turns out to be a scam in one way or another, starting with the very concept of Portugal as a developed and democratic “country”, which is a very dangerous fraud and a total lie that will trap your life.

If you pay more than 50 euros to any Portuguese, you’re probably paying too much for what you’re getting. (I’m not including salaries, of course).

The majority of the Portuguese population is communist to some degree, even those who vote for mainstream political parties are full of communist “ideals”. Most civil servants are affiliated to Portuguese Communist parties (yes, there are so many “flavors” of Communist parties in Portugal, even the Green Party, which in Portugal is not a genuine, independent Green Party at all, but just a proxy of the Portuguese Communist Party, which can also happen with other small political parties on the periphery).
There’s even a Communist Party every year! The TV channels and all the Portuguese media talk about it ad nauseam for several weeks and, until this communist party is over, they are always on TV! Even the comedians in Portugal are communists! (You just want to run away as fast as possible!)

Although I’m not talking about normal left-wing parties, I’m talking about extreme far left-wing parties that practice the abominable, genocidal and very dangerous doctrine of Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism. Only in retarded Portugal…

I’ve never seen so many communist sickles in my life, they’re all over the streets on posters and billboards. If you don’t know better, you would think you were transported to the former Soviet Union, even many apartment blocks look like they came straight out of the former Iron Curtain countries. There’s no doubt that the communist doctrine fits like a glove with the deviant personality traits of most Portuguese (lack of character, envy, malice, losers…).

However, I must say that Portugal is an amalgamation of corrupt and crooks everywhere, so politically it’s all the same, even if there are one or two parties on the fringes of politics that may or may not be different. As a whole, I should say that there are no good or bad political parties, because they are all nauseatingly bad and corrupt to the bone, but that doesn’t mean that individually there aren’t people of integrity in all parties, who sooner or later are invariably silenced and marginalized by the overwhelming majority of sleazy crooks and cowards inside the party machines.

If you watch some Portuguese national TV channels and can endure the pain in your brain, you will see that all day long the Portuguese watch and adore news and pseudo-debates all day long about their corrupt and filthy football system and its crooks, including petty things like what the corrupt club president and other crooks had for breakfast or how they are spending their vacations, and the same goes for the thieving Portuguese corrupt politicians and mafia bankers who have stolen billions from the Portuguese and are never arrested. They watch television programs with sly hosts and pseudo comedians who make you cringe, with audiences populated by people who don’t even know how to clap, when they clap, they raise their elbows in the air as if they were about to take off.

There is an absolutely promiscuous and corrupt relationship between Portuguese politics, football, banks and the Portuguese courts and their judges ensuring that these crooks are all well protected by the “law”. They all help each other getting richer and richer at the expense of the Portuguese and the EU taxpayers and the Portuguese becoming poorer and poorer, but the Portuguese population is so unbelievable stupid, that don’t even realize that it is their money that is being stolen, including the EU money, that is supposed to be smartly and rationally invested in their economy so that the Portuguese can have a better quality of life, instead they are increasingly getting poorer and poorer. As I said, they admire those who steal from them! If you ask any Portuguese, it seems that in Portugal there are no thieves, corrupt and crooks, but instead there are only very smart guys! And they even think it’s all very funny and they laugh about it! Hence the innate mental deficiency and ingrained dishonesty.

And another terribly devastating thing for those who live in Portugal is that the memories of your life start to be permanently soiled by all the scum you meet along the way as you “try” to have a normal life there, and it’s even worse when you have problems. The more years you live in Portugal, the more the story of your life is soiled by all the Portuguese trash that surrounds you and suffocates you instead of creating happy memories. You don’t want that, it’s a sentence that no good person deserves! Run away, run away from Poortugal! The place where the devil lives!

One day I was in a restaurant, having dinner with my wife, when I happened to overhear the person next to me, among a group of friends, saying to his friend, who was talking about a company that seemed to me to be his competitor, that if he wanted, he could give him information about his competitor, since he was his client and had privileged access to that information, I don’t know what kind of information they were talking about, but obviously it is not to be shared with third parties. That’s right, having a business in Portugal is what you are subject to, and much more.

A Portuguese once told me in a casual conversation about government spending, “o dinheiros deles” which means “their money”. Unbelievable! This Portuguese doesn’t even know what taxes are and that there is no such thing as “THEIR money”, it is “OUR money”, the taxpayers’ money, the money of all Portuguese. With citizens of this caliber, no wonder Poortugal is such a mess!

Ironically, and completely oblivious to the seriousness and stupidity of what she was saying. Regarding Portugal, this person ended up telling the absolute truth! In Portugal, they literally make the money of the Portuguese people their own to steal and squander at will with real impunity (and with the agreement/consent of the majority of the population).

The most corrupt Poortuguese Prime Minister ever (at least as far as I know), who has stolen and damaged the country to the tune of billions of Euros, directly and indirectly for generations to come (but we’ll never know the real figure), has been elected twice in a row (and I’m sure that if he were to run again today, the very dumb Portuguese would mostly vote for this piece of trash again!) Needless to say, this criminal is completely free, lives in a luxurious villa by the sea, and everyone can see him jogging carefree through the streets and (amazingly!) signing autographs and posing for selfies with the very idiotic and dishonest Portuguese population, who treat him like a rock star instead of the scumbag he is, who stole the country and himself and bankrupted the country, which then had to be bailed out once again with the other people’s money, this time by the Troika (basically EU and US money, the money from OUR pockets (again!).
This criminal, like so many other countless despicable Portuguese thieves, both political and civilian, are not imprisoned or even tried for their real crimes, but (when they are) are only tried for insignificant trifles in completely sham trials that always end in nothing (just like a dictatorship, which is what it is!).

This criminal, if he were in the United States or another EU country, would already be sentenced probably to at least 10 life sentences! But in Poortugal he is a rock star! Need I say more about the total lack of morals (and intelligence) of the Portuguese people?

Portuguese people from all walks of life look at the biggest abnormalities that happen every day in their fetid country as if they were the most normal things possible.

Portugal is a diabolical and deeply disturbing, insane “society” that will most likely seriously traumatize you if you don’t recognize it and get out in time, where everything is constantly pushing you down. Fortunately, that’s what this website is for, to warn people of the danger they are in.

Because deep down, what lies behind all this endless evil, cruelty and stupidity that is so uniquely Portuguese and has no parallel anywhere else in the world, is the existence of a pseudo-society that is actually made up of mostly crazy people, but who pass themselves off as perfectly normal people, yet constantly utter the most outrageous/idiotic statements and act in the most insane ways with the greatest naturalness. This goes all the way through society, from ordinary citizens to the highest public officials. In Portugal, the crazy people are the normal people, and the normal people (with common sense, who speak the truth) are the ones who are labeled as crazy.

The words that best define life in Portugal: Chaos, Arbitrariness, Insanity.

In view of all this, to call the Portuguese human is an insult to humanity.

There was a car dealership owner who once told me, to my great shock, that “this prime minister only stole some money, but he didn’t hurt anyone. Didn’t hurt anyone?! Of course not, he and his friends simply stole and damaged the country to the tune of innumerable billions of euros through corrupt contracts! But even if he had stolen 100 euros, it would be a crime that indicated that he was not a trustworthy person, and therefore, evidently, could not continue to exercise the functions of Prime Minister of Portugal. I really can’t understand and classify this kind of reaction, which is very typical of the Portuguese. It certainly reveals a mixture of mental deficiency and deep-rooted dishonesty. Imagine what it would be like to buy a car from this imbecile as well of course, a crook.

If you listen to, or even worse, watch Portuguese popular music (música pimba), almost all of it will cause you excruciating brain pain, yet most Portuguese people love it. That explains a lot!

There are no perfect countries, far from it, and of course there are such people in every country, but the big difference is that in Portugal it is endemic, it is the norm, the ratio of bad people to good people is completely reversed in Portugal compared to a developed country, from my anecdotal experience, approximately 95% of the Portuguese manifest some degree of these very serious character flaws, and therefore only around 5% of the population is genuinely trustworthy, reliable, upright and who really care about the dire situation, but very unfortunately totally powerless to change anything against such an overwhelming majority of bad people and useful idiots. Of course, not all of the 95% are active crooks but they are conniving and have the same attitude and as such they are somehow weak, passive, cowards, envious, simpletons, disinterested, selfish, callous, dishonest, very stupid, indifferent to evil, thieves by opportunity, lacking morals people, who always look the other way (therefore, most of them end up being the same in terms of (lack of) moral values and crook mindset), which makes them just as guilty/responsible and just as much a part of the problem because they let it all happen under their noses and don’t know or even care about exercising their rights and using their vote to their advantage (i.e. punishing corrupt politicians and fighting the criminals who have taken over their country and monstrous injustices by any (within reason) means necessary. That is, to man up!).

These people exhibit all the characteristics of the numb, meek, uncritical and submissive citizens of a third-world dictatorship country, but with some very perverse quirks that are so typical of the Portuguese population, which is why when you arrive in Portugal you are in for a big shock (that is, when you leave the tourist circuit) you’ll think you’ve fallen out of Europe, and indeed truly you have, European civilization stops in Spain, many places in Portugal look like an extension of Morocco, perhaps even half of the Portuguese population looks like North Africans to me (which, of course, I am not intending as a good or bad thing, it’s just a personal observation, but I am making it clear so as not to be misunderstood), and of course people’s appearance is totally irrelevant, what counts is their integrity. 100%!

Qualities of the Portuguese (in general): Very unfortunately I can’t think of any, but they are usually very friendly in the tourist sector, or in casual conversations, unfortunately this is all superficial, because when you (really) need them and the system you only have problems that can become very dangerous, as was the case with me, although I can mention that the food is really good, at least for my taste, but only if you are lucky enough to know the very few good restaurants, because the norm is plenty of scams and mediocrity (as well as poor hygiene and food unfit for consumption) in the catering sector like, not surprisingly, almost everything in Portugal.

I’ve also had occasional encounters with helpful, competent and polite Portuguese, but that only proves the rule.

I MUST point out that there are always EXCEPTIONS to EVERYTHING I say that is bad about Portugal and the Portuguese people!

So, of course it’s not all bad in Portugal, there are many positive and pleasant aspects, but unfortunately in the face of all that is very bad and the big picture, these positive things end up being totally irrelevant. Portugal could be splendid, but without the Portuguese people (i.e. the general crookedness and callousness of 95% of the population).

Portugal is not the beaches, Portugal is the Portuguese people.

So, obviously there are decent, honest, hardworking, very intelligent, competent and talented people in Portugal who work very hard, usually just to survive (due to the very toxic and vicious environment that crushes them on a daily basis), not to live, although they are rare gems, and this article is not about them.

The (genuinely and not superficially) honest people in Portugal are so rare that you can’t find them or even know who they are, and even if you do find them, they are not much help in the midst of all the rot that exists in Portugal. (they need help too)

The decent Portuguese who really care are a very tiny minority in a sea of unscrupulous people and nitwits, so it’s impossible to win! You have my full sympathy, and I personally say, if you are a good person, you don’t deserve to waste your life in that hellhole, which will inevitably cancel you out as a unique and valuable human being, one way or another, sooner or later! Portugal is a dystopian society that will surely crush all your dreams and will never let you to be you!

It is a fact that many people in Portugal sooner or later suffer a catastrophic and irreversible blow to their lives, from which they can never recover, because the country abandons them, or rather, is not even there for them.

It should also be noted that the human quality in Portugal is deteriorating instead of improving, since most of the decent people leave the country as soon as they have a chance.

The big problem is that when you are in Portugal, you can only turn to Portuguese people for important matters, right up to the last resort, and they will more often than not they will just make your problems worse instead of helping you out (individually and collectively speaking), and that’s why you are always getting more and more screwed in Portugal, because you can only deal with Portuguese people and Portuguese institutions all the time. In most cases, if you are dependent on Portuguese people (for important issues), your life is sure to become a living hell without you ever being able to solve your problem.

As a rule, you can never make a wrong right in Portugal, the wrong just gets wronger and wronger (the more serious the matter, the worse), which puts you in a limbo of eternal terrible suffering.

That is, in Portugal you only get (more) problems, you never solve problems, especially the serious ones.

I wonder how Mother Nature could have done something as bad as the Portuguese. (for the most part)

We don’t get many shots in life, so be very careful with Poortugal, because the least that will happen to you once you get there is that you are guaranteed to become impoverished and waste a large part of your resources, precious years of your life, as well as your mental sanity, because nobody who is honest, competent, and hardworking can become even relatively wealthy in Portugal. Unfortunately, this may make it even more difficult for you to leave. Poortugal is like quicksand, once you fall into this shit, it can become very difficult to get out (that is, in good standing) if you run out of resources.

I have certainly met many friendly people in Portugal, but that doesn’t mean that they are trustworthy and will act in good faith and with due diligence to help you when you need them. There’s a big difference between sitting on a beautiful terrace, soaking up the sun, drinking a cold beer and being attended to by a friendly waiter, or needing service and having to rely on a Portuguese person or institution. Depending on the severity of the situation, your life can be destroyed in the blink of an eye and you’ll never see it coming, as was my case.

There’s a world of difference between being nice and being an inherently righteous person. Never mistake one for the other.

What makes Portugal so dangerous is that, at first glance and on the surface (I’ve had many wonderful times in Portugal and I miss the sea, the food and the sun, because Portugal, in my opinion, is sincerely REALLY great as a region and full of untapped potential (unfortunately, its natural beauty is very badly managed and taken advantage of), but as I said before, without the Portuguese people), it seems like a very nice place to live in; Nice people (on the surface), pleasant weather, lots of sunshine, great beaches from north to south and good food (in the few places), but that’s not enough to offset the atmosphere of extreme mediocrity, ineptitude, envy and legalized crookedness among the general population, which can literally reach any degree of severity, and which from the outset prevents you from being what you want to be, regardless of all your abilities and efforts, the anti-democratic institutions that don’t work at all when and where it really matters, public institutions infested and run by corrupt and very incompetent and lazy people, a downright fraudulent and corrupt judicial system that exists to serve itself and its corrupt political and civil “friends”, therefore to protect the scum and punish the good citizens just like in a dictatorship, which IT IS, since Portugal’s supposedly democratic institutions have been completely usurped by the corrupt, the criminal and the mediocre (and the Portuguese don’t mind one bit about it, because they are equal). Needless to say, all of this poses a great danger to your life and makes your life in Portugal extremely tenuous and ultimately pointless.

Warning. Extremely dangerous! In Portugal you have no real democratic, civil or human rights! IT’S ALL FAKE !!! The reason for this ignominious situation is the Portuguese themselves, who have undermined democracy and the rule of law, because most of them are, morally speaking, rats in sheepskins, scattered throughout all layers of Portuguese society. This Portuguese stinking shitocracy is the “great” creation of the Portuguese, and IT IS the spitting image of the very low quality of the Portuguese people in general. Poortugal is sinking in its own shit and stupidity!

And in the end, I realise that I can only describe 1% of what it’s like to live in Poortugal in this entire blog, because there are no words in the dictionary, in any dictionary in the world, that are strong enough to describe and classify the true reality of what it’s like to live in Poortugal, surrounded and dependent on these creatures of darkness for years and years, for any decent person with more than two brain cells in their head. Even if the blog one day has a million articles about Poortugal and the Portuguese, it will never be able to convey the true, enormous and agonising terror of living in this hellhole surrounded by these damned creatures of darkness called Portuguese, where only a creature of darkness could enjoy living.

Important note: This article and all the others on this blog are not about the 5% of decent Portuguese who care and who deserve all my sympathy and I sincerely wish them all the best, because I know what it is to be a person of integrity in Portugal. Nevertheless, the reality in Portugal is so severe and so ingrained in all strata of society that I have no other way to denounce it than to generalize.

A country where criminals and the powerful are systematically protected to the detriment of victims and its citizens is the definition of a dictatorship, which is why Portugal should leave the EU.
