What was so brutal about Portuguese colonization compared to extermination promoted by Anglos or the racist caste system of the Spanish?

Bandeirantes were "European" in the sense that they were citizens of the Portuguese empire. They were mestizos living in Brazil for generations

Bandeirantes weren't Portuguese, most of them were mixed with Natives already.

Our caste system wasn't similar to Spanish due to the lack of Native Americans lol

There were few Native Americans here to have any caste system. In Spanish America they were millions and millions

Vasco was justified because the arabs killed his son, but he did turn into an absolute madman

Monarchies and the rigid systems of social classes creates a lingering dehumanization in people.
Same as in dictatorships, it tortures people by dumbing them intentionally with fear 24/7, year after year.

Too cowardly to punch up because of consequences, respectively that animalistic fear of consequences.
Very brutal when it's time to punch down or on equal levels.

When they found half-naked people, they found their punching bags to unpack centuries of intergenerational mental anger & sexual frustration, with fury...


The old natives had the last laugh because they infected everyone with STDs/STIs that are incurable to this day.

Bandeirantes are 100% our credit, not Portugal's. They're the reason Brazil got so big instead of being restricted to a tiny cuck land strip on the coast while the rest went all to Spain (the original Tordesillas agreement).

How else are you going to integrate large populations?
Be real nigga, life aint puppies and rainbows. Europeans only pulled out and started preaching about decolonization after they realized they won't have a technological advantage over their subjects for much longer and that eventually Jeets would get a bunch of AK47's and start gunning down wypipo in the streets

lets be honest colonial empires where generally tamer and really bad at extermination because they didn't even have that as a goal
at least bronze age people bothered to make extermination and mass rape / murder part of thier mythology even if archeologically its hard to prove they really did those things when they invaded
