I never understood this European obsession with calling their own country "the happiest country in the world". I lived in the Netherlands and Ireland (both I've been told are the happiest countries in the world), and I can't imagine people being happy in this awful weather. Plus there's so many depressed goth people.
People who believe in the lie that they are the best in the world, or happiest won't life a finger to self improve. They're morel likely to accept any fuckery their government impose on them.
It's in no way unique to Europe, in fact it might be worse in the US since the public school system even avoids talking about other countries at all, they actively want to keep you in the shadows.
Most of the world learns English, French, Spanish or German but Americans only speak English. It's North Korea levels of isolation. There's another great example of people being kept in the shadows, believing they live in the best country on earth, simply because they don't know any better.
At least in Europe there's some statistical backing and you can always compare individual metrics. Bad weather is fine if you can own a big house and heat it cheaply. Bad weather is fine if you have less or no joggers in your town. Bad weather makes you appreciate the few days with good weather more. If weather was everything then wouldn't California be the happiest place on earth?
