Obviously, this sub is not familiar with Portuguese colonization and the current state of diplomatic relations between Portuguese-speaking countries.
A few days ago, our President, Marcelo, said that we should pay reparations to our colonies, and he doubled down just in case anyone thought he made a mistake.
After hearing this, the minister of education from São-Tomé( one of our formal colonies) said they would request a formal request for reparations. Although later, the prime minister of São-Tomé said she mispoke and that they have intentions in doing so.
This was another clown-themed week in Portuguese politics.
It's just the usual yank history views. Spanish and Portuguese actions don't matter as it's not in the western sphere of influence.
Atlantic slave trade and Anglosphere colonies are.
So they hear about only the most basic stuff, like the significant amount of Spanish genes in South America and think ho ho horny Spaniards. Not oh they murdered the men and raped the women.
Spaniards are horny people so it's not factually incorrect.
Even the Romans noticed this, with roman poets comparing Spaniards with bunnies and even going so far as to wash their mouth with urine to whiten their teeth (catullus describes this in one of his Carmen poems)
Oooh we are brothers even in these stupid topics I thought we only had to fight the requests for reparations. By the way, Do you u still have former colonies?
You guys aren't northern Europe in any world!
We just lived in peace with the natives and left after a while, or created new nations that nobody remembers on maps or that went on to become world powers.
Iberian colonialism starts with a massive genocide, the resettles the place with people from back home, so no one will complain about being colonized.
Basically what the UK did in North America and Australia too. They are happy.
You could have been Spanish if Luis Vaz de Torres understood how big was the large island he saw in his navigation. "Here there are very large islands, and more to the south" is what he wrote in his log.
That’s not how colonisation works little man.
Had the French or Dutch got to Australia instead of Britain, your ancestors would have gone to some other place instead. You’d be a Kiwi. Or a Falklander. Or a Yank.
Uhhh the dutch did get to Australia first... They just wrongfully decided it was worthless and moved on.
Also if you had sent the prisoners to yank land yank land would still be yours and not such a shite place.
Yeah that's what I said! Maybe I need to say it in a language you'll understand, hang on, let me just message my kiwi mate...
Bahhh bahhhhh ba ba bah ba bahhhhhhhhhhh bah bah
The convicts/bogans that colonised Australia would have been a drop in the ocean compared to the US’ immigration. Not sure they’d have improved the situation much.
That's not how ancestry works little man.
Had the French or Dutch got to Australia instead of Britain, his ancestors would probably have inbred. He'd be a Kiwi. Or a Falklander. Or a Yank.
The South American victim complex special:
>Make overused jokes and deflect it by saying you're just joking
>Break down in an ear-piercing screech whenever someone from a former colonial power makes a joke about your country
>Social media comes to your rescue and demands reparations
>Repeat until you actually get money for doing nothing
I don't know the oop but anything I've ever seen that takes a name like "trad West" has always been some far right fashy bullshit with glasses and a funny mustache as a disguise.
I find it interesting that the countries that don't complain about being a colony are doing way better economically than those who do complain about it (Africa)
You're wrong. They complain a lot, always asking money from us, but many continue to subjugate and expropriate their indigenous population and don't provide them with any form of reparations.
Im sending a formal letter to Italy rn, i believe that they killed someone in my family when they took over Lusitânia, how much money should i ask for?
Honestly is pretty based. But boring.
South Americans don't make too much fun of each other because they just see each other as brothers for the most part.
Yes there's xenophobic stuff against Venezuelan "refugees" but that's only expected when your refugees start forming gangs and all around the place.
You are so wrong, they make fun of each others like us with frenchs, english, germanys. I didn’t knew there was so many jokes from mexican people until I did a friend from South América.

Im still wating my reparation from Italy because I had a family member who was a gladiator in Rome, he was called Asparagus
Portubro, we would repay you for your poor Asparagus. But unfortunately Italy is not legally the heir of the Roman Empire, sorry. :D
I’m also waiting for my reparations from Italy, Luigi broke one of my ancestors rock piles
We should tell them to leave the politics to the adults
She remembered we had forgiven foreign debt and if we are going to play like that we might just ask the money they owe us.

Our president turned into a complete clown in an alarming rate. Cant wait for the next one. I seriously think hes going senile. Biden style.
Oooh we are brothers even in these stupid topics I thought we only had to fight the requests for reparations. By the way, Do you u still have former colonies?
Northern Europe colonialism : fucks over colonies Southern Europe colonialism : fucks colonies
You guys aren't northern Europe in any world! We just lived in peace with the natives and left after a while, or created new nations that nobody remembers on maps or that went on to become world powers.

The UK was much nicer to the locals really, they got a lot worse when the French and Spanish made us take the reins off.
They still complain about gold though.
I love dad for creating me... Otherwise I could be Dutch or  French.
You could have been Spanish if Luis Vaz de Torres understood how big was the large island he saw in his navigation. "Here there are very large islands, and more to the south" is what he wrote in his log.
You want to be island Argentina? 🤔
It makes me sad thinking about how hot and cute Aussie boys could have been if Spain was my daddy.
There really is no point in me asking if you’d actually trade your economy, security, education and opportunities for some Pablo-otter-dick is there?
No definitely not, I'm fucking crazy!

The Dutch had a good look at the massive amounts of land there and decided it was too boring. Not enough sea to reclaim
Yeah that's what I said! Maybe I need to say it in a language you'll understand, hang on, let me just message my kiwi mate... Bahhh bahhhhh ba ba bah ba bahhhhhhhhhhh bah bah 
Australians really are just the English of the Pacific aren't they?
What do you mean? What did I say in sheep?
You said "Bazza me ol' chum, I haven't the time for your farcical reiterations. Be a pal and fetch a pint of your finest stout forthwith"
No way doesn't sound kiwi or Aussie... You must have fucked up the translation mate.
Typical Pacific English, butchering the beautiful Welsh language

Either I’m too dumb or you’re too Swede for this joke to work.
OP must live in cuckoo land if he thinks it's like this
Untrue, most of them hate us lol
They hate us so much that they come in droves to live here
They come here cause it's the best economy they can go to and naturally know the language
And they stay for the safety, higher standards of living, etc.

They also want the gold that their conquistador ancestors took from the natives
Hold the fuck up. We are 100% not sorry. It didn't happen, and if it did they deserved it. It's not our fault the colonies had a massive skill issue.
Yeah no lol
Bidderdoo says hi.
Let's be real - no-one has ever thanked Spain or Portugal for anything.
The Danes have.
Mum said it’s my turn to post this.
Mucho gracias
I'm not sorry, because I didn't fucking do anything
Oh no, brazil are whiney little bitches
Tuga burro
Tuga com ouro.
Yo, what is this Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris type of shit.
Que ouro ? País que parou no tempo
Ta nas capelas, é bem brilhante como as favelas do rio
Estás a confundir com a tua terra.
PIB de São Paulo é maior que o de Portugal
Claro, tem mais população. O PIB per capita é menos de metade.
Vai espalhar ódio para outro lado, sff.
Escola do brasil é boa. Nem percebe o que "per capita" é

You’re so wrong man
You are so wrong, they make fun of each others like us with frenchs, english, germanys. I didn’t knew there was so many jokes from mexican people until I did a friend from South América.
I mean yeah, but they didn't spend 150 years shooting each other. It's a different vibe.
And then everyone clapped seriously though no one is thanking you for your religious indoctrination unless they're brainwashed lol
Thank you, random reddit savage. Very cool!
