Explanation: Portugal, after it lost the last remnants of its empire (and its fascist regime) established very close ties with its long-independent former colony of Brazil. The meme is mostly just being cheeky - Brazilian economic power has meant that Portugal is very much the ‘minor’ partner of the duo (a reversal of the prior colonial situation), but there’s no actual reverse colonization going on - and the Portuguese public maintains a very positive view of Brazilians.
At that point both countries became a United Kingdom.
The later “Independence” of Brazil was just a splitting of the crown, and Emperor Pedro I of Brazil still considered himself a subject of his father king of Portugal.

There’s no actual reverse colonization going on so far.
C’mon Brazil, I believe in you.

At least here where I live in Brazil most people who want to colonize, want Italy instead of Portugal.
except for that one time the king had to flee portugal and ended up in Brazil?

How do you think Brazil became independent? 😁
