I'm really sorry to hear it. The future can be different people, with different cultures, with different roots working together but they do not have to be in one country.
If every country is a mix of people then there is no diversity at all.
What is more diverse, each country in Europe having their very different culture and values but working together or each country having the same mix of immigrants with little to no difference in values and their culture being ignored and demonized?
fear of censure from other EU governments that could accuse it of actively encouraging immigration
Why is that ok for Germany and Sweden?
I say if Portugal wants to live up to their traditional role as Europe's shithole, let them. Embrace it. Make Portugal the official immigration hub of the EU, where all immigrants and refugees must first go to apply for asylum or a visa. They can live there indefinitely until their request is approved. Apparently people from more countries bringing more diversity is an objective good, so this would be a welcome move.
Prove it. I'm not one to automatically believe either polls or election results, but when you have such a plurality of support for an issue across political lines (no doubt thanks to the false choices that liberal democratic regimes put forward each cycle), it doesn't sound very controversial. Are they strongly against it? Is their anti-immigrant party making noise, or steadily gaining support? If I see strong evidence that the commoners want to expel foreigners and embrace traditional culture, I'll table my proposal for the time being.
doing that isn't the solution
Sure it is. Shitholes serve an important ecological purpose in societies. A sink for unwelcome behaviors. A place to dump the trash. It was obviously implied in my suggestion that when we move all the immigrants to Portugal, we would be moving them out of other countries. Nuclear waste has to go somewhere too.
Or wait don't tell me... eliminating Capitalism is the real solution isn't it?
inject yourself with hrt, cut off your dick, and transition
Wow that non-sequitur escalated quickly. Are you unwell? (you don't have to answer that) But if we are seriously going there, I'm actually totally in favor of female college athletes having to look at the feminine benis in the locker room, and being dominated on the field by men in wigs. I enjoy stories of "women" in sports literally brutalizing their weaker female opponents - probably even more than TheImpossible1. Why not? Like you said, the empire never asked us for our opinion. This forum is mental masturbation. It's not in our power to fix Clown World. You may as well honk and enjoy it. 🤡
Ultimately, you're just a lib that's supporting lib causes, despite "le irony" you use to frame it.
That is the greatest slander you could inflict upon me, and as such I WILL NOT READ THE REST OF YOUR COMMENTS! >:(
However, since you were kind enough to link that laughably biased article about Ventura (I particularly like the byline "Country no longer immune to the far-right.") - and it shows that there are still some compatriots among them after all - I'll grant Portugal a reprieve for now. Good job.
Let's send the huddled masses of refugees, immigrants, and gypsies to Madagascar instead.
That said although I'm no fan of Democracy, I don't believe that a foreign group holding elections, drawing straws, raising hands, or selling their souls to globohomo inc. and deciding that's what they want to do is any less morally valid than me deciding what's correct. Perhaps it is the liberal in me, but I will not decide for others outside my family or impose my morality on other nations. They would be right to fight me if I tried. They believe that diversity is strength. If they've been brainwashed as subjects of generational warfare for decades, so be it. I am not my brother's keeper.
Portugal’s president has ended an “unforgettable” visit to the emigrant and Portuguese descendent communities of California with a message of “defence of diversity, openness to migration and tolerance”.
The usual elitist emotional manipulation. Isn't everything in the past supposed to be terrible? Shouldn't we be ashamed of our ancestors, because of slavery, or should we now emulate their pioneering emigration to lands once filled with wigwams? The current "immigration" crisis is manufactured.
In 2015 they wanted the faux 'refugees' to come to Portugal and work in sectors that were hard-pressed in finding employees, such as forestry management.

Or choosing who can come to their country

I'm as blackpilled as Assassin47 but I completely agree with you. Very good points.
Beautiful words.

We used to smuggle drugs into europe but now we smuggle immigrants.
Can we go back to smuggling drugs please ? At least those are less harmful
The Portugese economy is a shambles and there are not enough jobs for the native populace. I am sure this will really help.
This is the EUs fault? Countries in EU can’t choose who comes in right?
Oh. Ok. Thanks for explaining that

I wonder how that (predictably) turned out, rofl.
They never recovered after the royal family uprooted to Brazil.
