Why isn't America considered a top 5 country in happiness index?

[MikeLowrrrey]

The U.S. should be number one in happiness, if not top 5. Instead it's always the same, Finland, Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, etc.

Are a majority of sources just biased?

[GNSweetPrince]

Because the bottom 90% are in a state of near-slavery, having all of their money and time extracted to make the top 10% happy.

It's hard to be happy when you know tomorrow your child could get cancer and your entire family's wealth would go down the toilet to pay medical bills.

Oh not to mention it's nearly impossible to guarantee a good life for your children in the USA unless you're a moneymogger. So nobody has children unless they're wealthy or an ******* who doesn't care about their child's future.

If you measured only the top 1% of each country by wealth I bet USA would be at the top of the happiness index.

[Ellmser]

Because everyone is destroying their brains with psychiatric drugs, porn, and processed food chemicals. Also everyone in America hates their family for some reason.

[lolatpaniccels]

since 1/2 the women are fat/obese it takes a near chad to bang a decently attractive girl these days in US.

Not enough vacation time when compared to other countries.

Bro, theres unemployed people in the US making thousands of dollars sitting on their ass daily, strong slavery there

2 words: Cultural enrichment.

2 words: Cultural enrichment.

I disagree. Look at the mass shootings done by whites. There's zero reason for there to be mass shootings done by whites.

[eod8989]

Cultural marxism, feminism, social media, obesity, lack of education

[rollerball]

it's because of black culture

[Condo41]

Lots of threads coping about not being an US American today

[zknarc]

Nice source

[MikeLowrrrey]

A year of mass shootings by whites is like an average weekend in Chicago

You can't compare gang violence to innocent people. Shootings in Chicago are gangs shooting at other gangs

[AncientYouth]

You can't compare gang violence to innocent people. Shootings in Chicago are gangs shooting at other gangs

result is the same , someone dies and often enough an 'innocent' bystander

[lockdev]

This country was really happy in the 80s and 90s.

Since then, we've had:

rise of ghetto culture
social marxism
shrinking middle class
soaring costs
forced diversity

We do have more opportunity than we did back then, with the internet being the great knowledge equalizer, but I would argue that it's harder to make it due to the insane cost of everything today.

[MikeLowrrrey]

That innocent bystander wasn't shot on purpose like the kids at Sandy Hook. No gang member is running inside a movie theater and killing people unless his enemies are there and even then he's still not purposely shooting at innocents.

Gang violence? Like the kind that killed the 7 year old in Chicago?

That can't be compared?

Ok den.

Was the 7 year old purposely a targeted while in a car with tinted windows?

Happiness is a subjective term, in the US has a higher percentage of overachievers than anywhere else. Those people may not list themselves as happy, because they are not satisfied.

Although I do admit that we are getting away from this at an increasing rate. The US has had it so good for so long, that many people do not realize how much better it is than most places in the world, therefore they become whiny little beotches.

[Porridgemonster]

hmm lets think, first of all how about no legal minimum holidays for jobs and an average of 10 days off per year. Whilst the majority of the EU countries have minimum 5 weeks paid vacation, LMAO.

Imagine living in a country that revolves around the corporation and not the human.

[hoganrulz]

The paper chase isn't conducive to happiness. Just moments of joy before the goal posts change.

[jackamo2887]

Have you been to America?

Unless you have money its kind of a dump. Plus urban youths and liberals everywhere

Japan has overachievers and they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world

[Dan916]

diversity / wokeness most people dont even talk to their own neighbors.

[FitnessEmperor]

Because the needs of the average joe are not met like in those countries

EZ Nordic Poosy

Free Education paid for by the upper classes & elites

Healthcare also paid for by the same people as above

Less work & school hours

Clean Air and Environment

They really ****ed up a good thing big time with that open door immigration policy from their EU overlords

[Kaliconic]

Why is anyone even taking those indexes seriously? You can't really measure happiness, first of all. Secondly, those indexes are put together by leftists, and I'm pretty sure I remember they are mostly just rating countries on things leftists care about. So your country will be rated less 'happy' if you don't have universal healthcare. It's nonsense.

this. Dudes are taking escorts to ****ing Mastros because they can't score a 5/10 without extreme jestermaxing anymore. LMAO.

This. The rise of rap culture an hip hop has done a large amount of damage here also. Young people are very impressionable to it and idolize the lifestyle and things they say because they think it’s cool. Through the 80’s and early 90’s this country was goat. Gang/rap culture started catching on and suddenly being a cold blooded criminal was being idolized, it’s easy to see now looking back on it.


A real man isn’t some cold blooded criminal, that’s where young fatherless boys lose their way. A real man can still care, be respectful and be willing to help the community. A real man can also take criticism without letting his animalistic nature take over and act out like an ape. Rap did a chit ton of damage here in the US within a short time frame.

[TomPaine]

Correct. That never being satisfied feeling that pushes want to be an overachiever can be detriment to their overall happiness. Remember Homer Simpson is the happiest man in the world.

Also the Japanese suicide rate is so high because most of them die virgins... (Imagine never having anyone to say "they were the best man" about). Depressing.

I think the survey that destroys this ranking entirely was the one that said literally half the people on the planet would move to the US if they were physically able to. (And if the Democrats have their way, that might come true).

It's cultural marxism man. You know who is pushing this stuff?

c'mon bro she's like a 9.5/10. I wouldn't take one that was not that hot to fine dining.

She's always texting me to go out too. lmao
