maniak's latest activity

In front of the former headquarters of the secret police last night, see if you can spot me.

Most of the emigration to Canada happened before the revolution, but the vast majority was from Azores because of its geographical location. Portuguese dictatorship was never as hardcore as the soviet ones. It was relatively easy to leave the...

Yeah, scary stuff. They create their own reality and that's it.

They basically copied maga's success. Lisbon is a swamp of corruption, bloody immigrants, pedophiles everywhere, everyone's a communist, etc.

Algarve was the only region in the last election where the far right loonies won in the last election, so I'm not surprised there's not much happening. It's really sad the region has fallen for the "these bloody foreigners" populist bs.

Not really, it actually declined. Loads of people who fled the country (mainly to France and Germany) returned. My grandfather fled to Germany the day he was drafted to go fight in Angola, lots of others did the same. There was also an economic...

Sadly they're coming back, 18% in the last election. So far the other parties have kept them away from any real power but if they keep growing they will be impossible to ignore. Regarding this day, they basically have rewritten history, for them...

Yeah some of the stupidest wars ever. Portugal had zero chance of keeping any colonies but we spent years sending young men to die in africa and killed loads of africans for literally nothing but the vanity of a small group. Those wars were...

Oh we still have lots of those too. To avoid bloodshed and quicken the process, lots of fascists were forgiven and were simply integrated normally in society, many with lots of money who still influence politics today.

Nice. Our dictatorship lasted 41 years, half the population hadn't known anything other than that.

One of the bittersweet moments of our history. On the one hand the fascists kept us out of WW2 saving lots of lives but we had to take another 3 decades of dictatorship.

50 years ago, at around this hour, a group of military conspirators occupied the national radio headquarters in Lisbon and played an unauthorized song. It was the secret code that the other conspirators were waiting for in military bases all over...

It would be so sweet spurs giving us the title by taking points off them.

For sure, but imagine the public sector would produce the most used pills instead of paying 3 or 4 times more to private industries. It would save a ton of money on costs that could be used to improve the healthcare system even more.

Very, tomorrow is freedom day and the trends are filled with fecking fascists.
