What went wrong? they where one of the big superpowers in the colonial Era and now they: -are dumb (published scientific papers rate under mexico or Greece, lower iq than Uruguay, lower literacy rate than Paraguay or bolivia) -poor (lower gdp per capita than Trinidad y Tobago, gdp nominal lower than Pakistan or bangladesh)
the only thing the poortuguese were ever good at was stepping on a boat, entering the ocean and sailing until they through sheer luck encountered land and claimed it for their own
it's not exactly difficult, a chimpansee could do it
funnily and predictably enough when that stopped being profitable they went back to their african-tier level of development

What are you talking about? Trinidad and Tobago has $15k GDP and Portugal has $20k, same level as Slovenia, Czech, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.

To be honest, we're a small country with not a ton of resources or population.
It's not like we belonged in the big league in the first place. The fact we got there is the extraordinary feat, not that we'd eventually come to realize we were just a glass cannon with no hopes of recuperating from the slightest mishap, because we were forced to put 100% of our stuff on the line just to get a go at the big life.
This shit came from a country with barely a million dudes who had the plant trees and wait 20 years to make boats out of them whilst enduring a land blockade.
Brazil was for a long time the powerhouse of the Americas. Until it turned out machines are better to have than slaves because they revolt, complain and rob less than them. It was richer and had better prospects than the 13 colonies, for one.

And we are the birthplace of colonies that today are world economic hyperpowers who hold us all in high esteem (brazil, angola, china).
And I'm just writing these as I go, the more I think about how much Portugal blows the fuck out of most other countries' achievements and contributions to mankind, the more I realize how pathetic this thread is. Mexico of all countries trying to talk shit? If it were America, or japan, or Israel, or maybe the UK I could understand, but this is just ridiculous.
This board is frequented by collar beard losers who live in front of their computers to play video games and masturbates to manga because they would be wimpy to actually talk to a girl, or say a fraction of the stuff they post on here to a guy face to face. Hidden behind their screens, we have real tough champs here.
It baffles me how hilariously ignorant most of the world is about the Portuguese-Israelite connection. While the rest of Europe was jealous of their success and expelling them from their lands and confiscating their riches, they were all coming back to Portugal to reorganize. We only had a "purge" when masonic puppets had their hold on our government for a couple of decades in the 18th century and even then they bartered deals with the locals to let them stay in exchange for pretending to be christian.
Some of our dishes (I almost forgot we have one of the greatest food in the world) are made by jews imitating non-kosher food and it turned out their dishes were so good they overtook the real deal in popularity (see alheira).
We saved a ton of jews during the holocaust and the first jewish european president was Portuguese. The Portuguese's spirit of innovation, self-sacrifice and coexistence is deeply connected with that of the Israelites.

We didn't fall, we just went too high once We are only 10mill people and were even less back then For how small we're we survived for so long already
I was not self-hating, we do okay for a country that relies so much on services, although we could be better. Just don't call Angola an economic hyperpower ever again. Those niggers don't understand the concept of investment for development. They can spend all those billions and trillions of petrodollars they have left and they'll still be below shit tier in human development terms.

You should take your meds amerindian panchito. Portuguese IQ is average in europe, and much higher than in the americas

Argentina is quite literally the economics textbook example when talking about boom and busts, ie instability. Basically socialist guerilla wars or fascist dictators, usually US backed, in every part of Latin America. All you need is stability and your country can be semi-1st world. That's something that only happened in the 90s for large parts of the western hemisphere
