Finland is named the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to the World Happiness Report 2025 published Thursday.
Other Nordic countries are also once again at the top of the happiness rankings in the annual report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford. Besides Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden remain the top four and in the same order.
Country rankings were based on answers people give when asked to rate their own lives. The study was done in partnership with the analytics firm Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
When it comes to decreasing happiness — or growing unhappiness —the United States has dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The report states that the number of people dining alone in the United States has increased 53% over the past two decades.
Your criticism over Finland being a good place to live according to Finns is that you say out of nowhere that you were tortured and writing on the walls with blood and shit like that, of course I’m going to be confused as fuck. It comes off straight up crazy.
It’s a perfectly coherent example of the depths that emotional stuntedness comes out as; pathological avoidance.
You’re still doing it, and wrote that comment in a way that you don’t even implicitly accept that this actually happened. And you’re a random person on Lemmy, probably a bit left leaning, smart-ish, etc.
You don’t understand that the psychological avoidance you’re doing is endemic in Finland, Finnish culture, and the Finnish language.
The fact that I’m having to spell this out THIS hard is very much what I’m talking about. You pretend like you don’t know that everyone can see that your avoiding this subject on purpose. AVOIDING. As in, not facing a thing, because you’re afraid of something.
You simply can not accept flaws and mistakes in Finland. You say you can, but you clearly can not. That is the issue. You delude yourself while avoiding all emotion.
It’s interesting that you’re calling me deluded when you feel that it’s not you who is wrong but literally everyone else.
Yeah.
Because you are.
Youre still not even implicitly accepting this even happened.
My own mother did that to me.
That image has a mattress and a blanket. I had neither. The police destroyed evidence and prevented me from filming them from the start of their illegal home search.
The Supreme Court of Finland doesn’t think I’m delusional.

That’s my case. But you just refuse to accept I was literally tortured. You can’t talk about it, because you know it happened, and there is no way you it can be justified and that would mean there’s systemic issues and violent disregard for basic human rights — and you simply can not accept that, so you **delude yourself. **
They tried blaming me for vandalising the hell with my blood. I got a lawyer to ask for the surveillance tape. It miraculously vanished and the lawyer said he’s never heard the cops be so scared on the phone.
But no, elä sinä lintukodossa. Valitettavasti se on olemassa sun and päässä eikä missää muualla.
Being in the minority doesn’t mean you’re wrong. You know this perfectly well. Facts matter, not your fear of avoiding feelings related to those facts.
It’s interesting how you’re making a discussion about Finland and Finns in generally all about you and assuming anyone would be familiar with your case.
You want me to share the personal info of other people?
Its curious how you still delude yourself, deny photographici evidence, refuse to accept ANY criticism of Finland and victim blame the victim of literal fucking torture.
That’s disgusting and it’s because you’re afraid.
The article said you should’ve been allowed to photograph the search in your home. Didn’t mention torture in the part I could read.
So you’re saying I should have more evidence of them breaking my rights than the amount off evidence I have, because they illegally stopped me from filming the rights being broken?
And you genuinely how you don’t see how youre delusional?
I could give you all the court documents, all the recordings of the phone calls with my lawyers, all the doctors statements I have describing how I almost reached an artery with the makeshift shiv I managed to make. I still have permanent scarring on both hands and lack the tip of my pinky finger.
If I did any of those things to someone, it would be aggravated assault. Pysyvä fyysinen vamma.
Explain to me how a person who has prescribed antipsychotic medications which he is prevented from taking, is placed under “supervision for his own safety” manages to draw hundreds of words on the walls?
Explain to me how it makes sense to you, paskahousu.
You’re so deluded it’s sickens me to my fucking stomach. You wouldn’t have the balls to say any of this to my face.
I mean more evidence would definitely be helpful in this conversation. Now it’s just a singular anecdote. Even more helpful for this actual conversation would be if you showed how this was a systemic issue or some such thing.
