How quintessential Portuguese.
How big an issue is this though, a search tells me that there are 0.4% Muslims in Portugal. Looking at other countries I can see that Romania is at 0.65%, Hungary 0.50% and Germany is 5.7% (which is insane considering the population of Germany - is almost the entire population of Ireland, New Zeeland or Croatia).
Or are this more feverous Muslims? I assume central or eastern Europe has mostly Turks.
Don't believe those numbers. Portugal has been giving the nationality at a rithm of more than hundred thousand a year! The Iman from the Lisbon Mosque says there about 120 000 Muslims in Portugal, about 1.2% of the population. But I think it is too low, because we have about 700000 legalized immigrants in the territory right now and many came from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India.
Why though? Why in the world is Portugal so keen on immigration? Is this a trend of the ruling class?
For the life of me I can't understand why you would not bring immigrants from Brazil or other parts of Europe. Portugal is relatively small, how big can the demand for immigration be over there?
Is bizarre that having so many countries with similar religion and culture (I assume here that a lot of South American culture has similarities with Spain and Portugal) you would bring in people from countries with a total different culture, history, language and religion. I can only assume malice as no other logical reason is to be found.
Feminism -> collapsing birth rates -> lack of future funding for their welfare states
What do you do? Even if their birthrate jumped up to african nation's rates tomorrow, it's still going to be 20 years before they start contributing to the tax base.
Cut welfare? Enjoy your riots. Tax more? More people decide to just stop working and help themselves to the dole. Inflate the currency? You're just moving the timeline, not stopping fate.
The collapse of empires never happens at an instant, but stretched out for many years.
Poland is funding young Polish families to have more children.
I don't see how importing refugees who barely speak the language and will have difficulty integrating into the culture will increase tax receipts. In fact in Germany they are taking welfare.
I understand that, I do not understand why they get immigrants from Pakistan or India when you can get immigrants from Brazil, Christians that speak the freaking same language.
Is the equivalent of Brits moving to US.
Cut welfare, put riots down hard. Problem solved.
It's enough to start making people wondering if it's really not a (((globalist))) conspiracy to destroy the West.
I'm sure it's not that simple, but at the very least it's a symptom of our disgusting post-modernist globalist culture suiciding itself. In the US where it started, progressives put the "Huddled masses yearning to breathe free" on the statue and we were programmed to believe "diversity is our strength" and accept all immigrants. And it seems fine to believe America is somehow special as a multi-ethnic nation until you look at the demographics of the UK, France, Sweden, and Germany and realize they're pulling that same shit in European ethnostates. And then you see they're trying to do the same thing in Japan, where yes they have a population problem but even though they could encourage Japanese people to have more children and improve things with automation you still have people telling them they need to import more uneducated foreigners and "refugees". Not just Japanese businesses, but foreign investment groups and professional journals telling them they will be better off if their population becomes "less Japanese".
It makes little sense unless you imagine it as some kind of coordinated global effort. But that would be crazy talk.
They probably see the writing on the wall.
Ecological collapse will make equatorial nations uninhabitable. Coming resource wars. Increasing cost of energy. Collapsing economies. Water shortage.
Low IQ populations incapable of creating their own functioning societies watching western nations over the internet and worshipping it like some sort of promised land.
The masses are coming. You have seen nothing yet. And I bet you that view is pretty clear from the top. So what should they do? Either they stop immigration and deport - but that would go against the narrative, and feminists would never agree and they are very much part of the power structure. Or they prime and prepare for what's coming, some last ditch doomed to failed attemt at social engineering, trying desperatly to brainwash people into accepting the destruction and subversion of their cultures, way of life, political and social systems, values and norms, ideals and aspirations. They're trying to make you love and revere and fear the low IQ masses who are about to flood your land in a deperate play hoping that a stable enough society can emerge. Because they know that unless forced by a narrative, if left free to your own will, you will never accept them or their ways, you need to be brainwashed. But the brainwashing isn't taking. Beucase they are fundamentally wrong in their assumtions. Humans are not social constructs. Nothing is. Everything has a rime and reason. They're failing, and they're getting nervous, and they're doubling down.
In a decade or two you're going to be attacked for saying it's crazy that we're about to elect islamists to power, "What's wrong with muslims being involved in the political process, you racist?". By the same people who today will tell you that "omg, are you serious, this will never happen, you paranoid idiot".
