    If you mean the modern idea of socialism, like the nordic nations, then absolutely get me the fuck out of rugged-individuals-at-eachother’s-throats-land please, these people are fucking nuts in the not fun way.

    If you’re talking about one of the formerly socialist nations that the United States intentionally took covert action against and destabilized to keep the regional markets open for our capitalists to sociopathically exploit like Venezuela, then no thanks, I’ve already seen enough of that trademark American for private profit cruelty played out domestically in our innumerable tent cities in every American population center.

      Your response got me curious and I’ve read the entire worldhappiness article you linked. Are you saying you dislike the Nordic countries? If yes, why? The article explains quite thoroughly why living there people feel happy.

        No friend, I meant the opposite.

        I live in the US, a gold plated dystopia. I would be very much prefer to live in the Nordic nations. I dislike the United States, I see the Nordic nations as role model nations.
