3 cont'd) You can't trust your neighbors when you don't know if the cops will kill you, if your neighbor will get vaccinated, or your child's school will ban books in between lockdown drills to prepare for the next school shooter. Fuck you, Finnish psychology researcher. Your advice doesn't mean shit over here.

For five years in a row, Finland has been ranked the No. 1 happiest country in the world. A Finnish philosopher and psychology expert shares the habits that make people in Finland so exceptionally satisfied with their lives.
3) This is the most laughable part of the whole damn article. "Community circle of trust"? Try living in the motherfucking US of A, where it's "fuck you, got mine" and the political polarization has reached fever pitch, where minoritized groups are fighting for the most basic of rights, including the right to exist in many cases, and Christian religious fervor has been turned against any group that doesn't conform to the Far Right's interpretation of the Bible...

Next up: 2) Nature is great—if you can get it. Many people in the US don't have access to nature, even good parks, that Finns have, and Americans sure as hell don't have four weeks of paid vacation. Many folks are lucky to have two weeks.
But the best is yet to come in this steaming pile of BS article.

This article pisses me off. It pretends to be about things you can do/change in your life, but it's actually privileged AF:
1) Most unhappy ppl in the USA aren't comparing themselves to others. They're trying to get BASIC necessities for life. It's easy to say don't compare yourself to others" in a country with the social equality of Finland.

Republicans are trying to clear the way for propaganda (and the propaganda of their foreign sponsors) by intimidating scholars and journalists who attempt to document and track it.
