By the way, and because I was a bit too vague, I will give you some pointers since you seem to be too lazy and self-centered, in your world of lovely tech fantasy, to even know where to begin: do educate yourself on subjects as diverse as the Portuguese Colonial War (way more damaging economically, culturally, and in sheer number of lives than The Troubles), the political persecution done by PIDE (way more vicious than anything the UK might’ve ever done — save perhaps for those undercover agents who married and impregnated women, only to leave them out of the blue), the decolonization process (a veritable shitshow for everyone involved), the current status of racism and debate thereof in Portugal (in short: not famous, but at least the latter is finally happening in earnest, I believe), the not any less heinous acts of Mário Machado and his PNR buddies (oh boy, where do I even start… That guy was convicted of and incarcerated for years over a politically-motivated murder, and was just released a few months ago), etc. You are going very much against the grain with this and being completely reckless, and nothing good will come out of it. Consider yourself warned, lest you inadvartently and negligently end up with blood on your hands.
