This is excellent - where is this from?
Go watch Goodfellas right now.
What is wrong with Spain and Portugal in March?
Portugal is always behind 10 to 30 years. Give it some time and we might see some fires /s
Teslas are everywhere here. Considered a status symbol… <facepalm> Every time I mention “Buy EU” to people, family, and friends, they look at me like I’m an alien.
Yeah, I’ve lived in a couple of countries in Europe and my fellow countrymen are the least socially aware of all and easily 30 - 40 years behind Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
I moved back to Portugal some years ago, after 2 decades abroad, and in several things (mobility, environmental awareness, social values) it was like going back in time.
Things are especially bad in everything to do with cars, with people still having the same mindset as back in the 80s, even young people.
People are just stupid.
Source: am Portuguese. The veneration for Elongated Muskrat that exists here is insane. Please take me out of here.
Spain sided with the fascists during WW2, didn’t they?
Today’s Spain is completely different than Franco’s Spain though
Trump’s America kinda proves that people can lay dormant with their ideologies for decades, tho
Spains current government is argueably the most progressive in Europe right now. Shorter work week to 37.5h for example.
To be clear, I don’t have anything against Spain or Spanish people, I’m related to them after all. But history tends to linger longer than we would like it to. I was just checking on that history.
