WHY DOESN’T PORTUGAL HAVE A HIGH TRUST POLITY?
Portugal is Latin, not Germanic, and was infected by the Muslim conquest of Spain, after recovery, was a long time under the church, outside the Lotharingian trade route from Italy to the north sea, outside the manorialism of the Hajnal line, outside the Hanseatic league, outside the protestant reformation, like Spain predatory in colonization, and so outside the west germanic and anglo development of the modern rule of law state, late to industrialization, early to the seduction of communism and socialism.

That said, they do pretty well, have not fallen into the reproductive collapse of the absolute nuclear family, nor excess immigration to compensate. And they’ll get there within a generation or three. Why? The internet’s mass access to information was more effective than all previous revolutions at inspiring the public other than the industrial.

Christians hate this, but the longer a people were under the church, the lower the trust of the population. The church was far more corrupt than any secular government today by orders of magnitude, and Russian and Chinese propaganda has nothing on the church. The Jews may have invented it in the middle east, but Europeans using religion were really happy to use lying and propaganda to take unearned credit, evade responsibility for demonstrated crimes, and to profit like an organized crime syndicate whenever possible.

Christianity isn’t alone. Jewish and Islamic irreciprocal ethics, wither jewish organized crime against the commons, and Islamic organized warfare against all more advanced civilizations, combined with mandatory ignorance is even worse than church corruption.

Not that Chinese and russian desperate attempts to preserve pre-industrial imperialism for the benefit of single class against the interest of the people, is any better.
