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!

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 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!

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 sees them doing it. 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 (from 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 life with a signature in a heartbeat and a big smile on his face. It’s 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 on the basis 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 filthy Portuguese politicians who steal billions of euros from the pockets of 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 this and stating the glaring (very dangerous) truth.

The Portuguese justice system is a monstrous fraud, which includes Portuguese lawyers, all of whom are chasing the most profitable Portuguese business ever, the victims business! The business of exploiting and robbing 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), that is admired by the population who very sadly share the same objectives, truly it is all a BIG SCAM, but they call themselves a democracy just to primarily continue cheating the EU, so that the EU can continue sending billions of euros in handouts to corrupt Portuguese to feed their luxurious lives with the hard-earned money of European taxpayers. Mine and yours, if you’re an EU citizen too.

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 banalities, because the more information they have about you, the more dangerous your life becomes, not necessarily physical, but in everything else, due to the Portuguese being very envious people and have many inferiority complexes. Even among them, there are no true friends, only self-interest (they are always backstabbing each other, including within their own families). Portuguese in general are 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.

When you need Portuguese people for something, most of the time you 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… (Excluding 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, much less if it’s the criminal or the public prosecutor who is lying.

I am very convinced that most of the Portuguese don’t distinguish between right and wrong, there is no such thing has 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 of the 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).

Portugal is such a bad place and devoid of any trace of real human beings (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 judicial system, who are only interested in taking any money you “still” have, for nothing, until you’re 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!

Portugal grinds up people’s lives!

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’s a large sum, take maximum precautions, but even so we’ll never know, because there is a great probability (compared to a developed country) that you’ll 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 despair 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 for the law with a complementary smile from the Portuguese judge.
You will receive lots of “arquivamento” (which means dismissed/filed, your action 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 judicial system makes a fortune out of the despair 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 requires 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 the Portuguese, for their own good, are qualified or deserve to own 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, that 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 their own actions and decisions. Many of the most despicable and dishonest people are often the most pious ones, who go to church every Sunday and are 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. Portugal is also a very infantilized society.

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

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 to 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 realize 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 successfully do in the extremely dysfunctional, evil and toxic Portugal, no matter what.

A group of Portuguese talking is most of the time like watching an endless chain reaction of unleashed stupidity.

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.

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!”.

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 perfectly confirm 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 after 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 in Portugal is a TOTAL failure. 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 (by action or inaction), 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’s nothing human about them.

Not to mention the total impunity for the massive and unremitting theft of public money by the general ruling classes, which the incredible 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, there is not even a society in Portugal, just a bunch of individuals 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 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 paid miserably, 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.

Many Portuguese have a very strange way of greeting each other. In any country we say something like: “Hello! How are you?” and the other person replies something like: “I’m fine, thank you!”. In Portugal it’s different, we say; “Hello! How are you?” and many (not all) reply; “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 reply something even worse like; “I’m bursting with arthritis pain!”, so they can fell happy for the rest of the day.

Once I was in a Portuguese post office and while the employee was assisting me, taking too long as she was in the middle of a lengthy conversation with two other colleagues, and then to my astonishment, I heard her saying to her colleagues “It’s a good thing that I’m getting old, this way I’m closer to retire” (a woman maybe only in her late forties, a young person in my view). Wow! This perfectly mirrors 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 on living? No wonder Portugal is what it is…

In addition, the Portuguese, in general, are also very lazy and incompetent, and it doesn’t matter if he/she’s 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”, roughly translating – 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 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 even have been perhaps fatal, additionally if you have an accident the insurance company will send you straight to court, which you will 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 really stops, otherwise you could be hit by a car. I’ve seen a lot of 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 in 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 this 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 throwing away, with frightening regularity, almost new items such as (good quality) clothes, shoes, bags, etc. and then going 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, honestly, there is no other way to properly describe the extremely disconcerting, disturbing and bizarre behavior of many of them, their continually 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 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 (defective) genetics! 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’s well known that there has been a lot of inbreeding and alcohol abuse from the beginning of Portuguese history to the present day, 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 an 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 country 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 eternal 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 badmouth Europeans and Americans, which only reveals their sheer ignorance, stupidity and inferiority complexes. 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 other countries’ dole.

Only when you, Portuguese people, start giving to others will you be able to say, if you like, 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 in crookery 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 in Portugal with capital letters.

Portuguese 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!
They even defend them, including journalists and commentators on television and in the media in general (literally or by not speaking the all truth). Only a crook and an idiot could say that another crook is clever and sophisticated, but not a crook. (What’s 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 insane!

Moreover, it’s very easy to be a con artist in Portugal. Even a monkey could be, 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’s 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. Be also very aware that all the supposedly “legal” documents and contracts are of no “real” use and they don’t grant any “real” protection in Portugal, so, in case you are defrauded, you are automatically screwed FOREVER, 99.9% of the time! The Portuguese State itself is a con artist!

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 is going to warn you and it’s not even written down anywhere! For foreigners it’s even more dangerous because we are much more vulnerable.

In Portugal, even donations and charities are pretty much all scams, especially if they’re about 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 houses, of which 261 were permanent homes, and 50 businesses, the victims were robbed, most of whom never received the aid supposedly intended for them, including millions of euros in personal donations, and many people even went hungry without access to food. These people, with no homes or anything left, were stolen by the mayor himself, his family and friends. They took practically all the victims’ money, and in the end they were all acquitted by the farcical Portuguese courts, as always happens! 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, very seriously, should and must be abolished!

In Portugal, when you’re swindled, you can’t even say you’ve been robbed by a crook, because according to the authorities you’re defaming the honor of an honorable person, and you’ll pay dearly for that sin. The only name I can call such a place is the land of Satan. Portugal is the land of Satan without a doubt! Run away as fast as you can!

So, almost everything in Portugal turns out to be a scam, in a 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. (Of course, I’m not including salaries)

It goes without saying that doing business in Portugal is walking on a minefield, to say the least.

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).
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 in the 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 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. Anyone who doesn’t know better, it seems that you have been transported to the former Soviet Union. There’s no doubt that the communist doctrine fits as 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, which 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 bear the pain in your brain, you will see that 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 ate 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 presenters 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 its 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.

A Portuguese once told me, in a casual conversation, about State 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. With citizens of this caliber, no wonder Poortugal is such a mess!

The most corrupt Portuguese prime minister ever (at least as far as I know), who stole and damaged the country to the tune of billions of euros, directly and indirectly for coming generations (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, living in a luxurious villa by the sea and anyone 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 themselves and put the country into bankruptcy, which then had to be saved once again with other people’s money, this time through the Troika (basically EU and US money, the money from OUR pockets (once again)!).
This criminal, like so many other countless abominable Portuguese thieves, both political and civilian, are not imprisoned or even tried for their real crimes, but are only tried (when they are) for insignificant things in completely mock trials, which invariably end up in nothing (just like a dictatorship, which 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 Portugal he is a rock star! Need I say more about the Portuguese people total lack of morals?!

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, who nevertheless constantly spout 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 office holders. 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.

There was a car dealership owner who once told me, to my greatest shock, that “this prime minister has only stolen some money, but he hasn’t hurt anyone”. Hasn’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 people like this in every country, but the big difference is that in Portugal it’s endemic, it’s the norm, the proportion of bad people to good people is completely inverted in Portugal compared to a developed country, from my anecdotal experience, approximately 95% of 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 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 contributes to the problem in the same way, because they let everything happen under their noses and don’t know or even care about claiming their rights and using their vote to their advantage (i.e. punish corrupt politicians and fight the criminals who have taken over their country and monstrous injustices by any (within reason) means necessary. That is, 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 so typical of the Portuguese population, which is why when you arrive in Portugal you are in for a big shock (this is, when you leave the tourist circuit) you’ll think you’ve fallen out of Europe, indeed truly you have, European civilization stops in Spain, many places in Portugal seem like an extension of Morocco, perhaps even half of the Portuguese population looks North African to me (which, of course, I’m not referring to as a good or bad thing, it’s just a personal observation, but I’m making it clear so as not to be misunderstood), and of course people’s appearance is totally irrelevant, what matters is their integrity.

Qualities of the Portuguese (in general): Very unfortunately I can’t think of any, but they are usually very friendly in the tourism 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 there are also a lot of scams and mediocrity (as well 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 confirms the rule.

I have to 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 everything 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, hard-working, very intelligent, competent and talented people in Portugal who work very hard, usually just to survive (due to the very toxic and malicious 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.

The decent Portuguese who really care, are a very tiny minority among a sea of unscrupulous people and nitwits, so it’s impossible to win! They have my full sympathy and, personally, I 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 human quality in Portugal is deteriorating instead of improving, as most of the decent people leave the country as soon as they have an opportunity.

The big problem is that, as you’re in Portugal, you can obviously only turn to Portuguese people up to the last resort, who just make your problems worse, 99% of the time, instead of helping you out (individually and collectively speaking), and that’s why you’re always getting screwed over more and more in Portugal, as you can only deal with Portuguese people all the time (for important matters). Mostly, if you depend on Portuguese people, your life is sure to become a living hell.

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.

We don’t get many shots in life, so be very careful with Portugal, because the least that will happen to you once you’re there is that you’re guaranteed to become impoverished and squandering a large part of your resources, precious years of your life, as well as your mental sanity, because nobody honest, competent and hard-working can get even relatively wealthy in Portugal. This could, unfortunately, make it even more difficult for you to leave. Portugal is like quicksand, once you fall into this shit, it can become very difficult to get out (in a 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 if you need them. There’s a big difference between being on a wonderful terrace soaking up the sun drinking a cold beer and being attended to by a friendly waiter, or needing the service and relying on a Portuguese person or institution. Depending on the seriousness of the situation, that’s when your life can be destroyed in a 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, but that’s not enough to offset the atmosphere of extreme mediocrity, ineptitude, envy and legalized crookedness among the general population that can literally reach any degree of severity, which from the outset prevents you from being what you want to be, regardless of all your abilities and effort, the anti-democratic institutions that don’t work at all when and where really matters, public institutions infested and governed by corrupt and very inept and lazy people, a downright fraudulent and corrupt justice system that is there to serve itself and its corrupted 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 were fully usurped by the corrupt, criminal and mediocre (and the Portuguese don’t mind a bit about it, because they are equal). Needless to say, all this poses a great danger to your life and makes your life in Portugal extremely flimsy and, in the end, 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, most of whom are rats, morally speaking, in sheepskin, scattered throughout all the layers of the Portuguese society. This Portuguese stinky shitocracy is the “great” creation of the Portuguese, and IT IS the spitting image of the very low quality Portuguese people in general. Poortugal is sinking in its own shit and stupidity!

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.
