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.
You just won’t believe it.
It’s insane that I have to argue you about a thing existing which you’re giving the perfect textbook demonstration of.
No, it’s not “a lot better tham others [so the fact you got tortured doesn’t mean anything which is why it’s okay for me to. Completely ignore it]”
You’re doing the exact autistic denial bullshit that infects 98% of Finnish population
I mean, on all sorts of quality of life rankings and factors we’re almost always at the top. If there’s such a thing as on objectively good place to live, Finland seems to be one of them. Not sure what you feel like our ranking should be on QoL and what sort of places should rank higher.
If you’re very unhappy with life here then I can understand it being hard to believe that others are genuinely happy to live here. If 98% believe that it just might be that it’s not them who are in denial.
Again.
Denial.
Literal refusal to even acknowledge the torture that happened.
You believe in things which don’t exist and refuse to believe in shit that exists, while saying that it’s not a problem that all Finns have that level or reality-escaping built into them.
You’re literally deluded worse than North Koreans.
You can not accept a single fault in Finland.
I like the country, which is why I despise cowards like you. Vitun paskahousu.

You’re living in a complete fucking fiction.

I have evidence and I can discuss reality — something which a coward like you is literally unable to even conceive.
I have no trouble seeing the faults in Finnish system. Again, nobody thinks we’re perfect, far from it. But I have no idea about your personal stuff wtf.
You are quite literally avoiding even saying there is a fault to begin with.
When confronted with photographic evidence of torture.
Tä on just sitä välttelyä mistä mä puhuin.
It’s called avoidance. And it’s a sickeningly strong trait in Finnish. I don’t think you understand how deeply that trait is connected to the Finnish people. It’s literally in the language when you know what you’re looking for. But you can’t see it when it’s shoved in your face so you definitely won’t understand it on that level.

Coward
Im confused. What happened to you?
A long fucking story that no Finns believe.
Despite me still having the scars and photos to prove it.
Cops deleted the video material.
Tried charging them and reaching out to oikeuasiamies the ombudsman, and they refused to accept fault either.
But do tell if you think cutting of water from a person in active psychosis (because you refused to give them their prescribed medications as “unnecessary”), who’s actively bleeding, after he’s not slept for three days, is, idk… appropriate and in accordance with Finnish values? (Because it’s not in accordance with the universal declaration of basic human rights)
Its pretty hard to belive it when every encounter i personally have with police has been good and fair and everyone i know to hate “pigs” hate them because they have broken the law themself. I think my experience is pretty common one and to me personally, one person ranting online is not enough to change my lifelong experience.
What pictures are you talking about? The one about the holding cell? That in its self does not mean anything.
This is what I mean.
How in the hell do you defend keeping someone locked up when they don’t eat or don’t sleep and you keep their PRESCRIBED antipsychotics from them.
I have doctors statements showing my bleeding and infected arma from after that treatment. I’ve a psychotherapist’s diagnosis of PTSD of it
I wouldn’t have believed it before it happened, but it did.
And you have literally zero empathy and willfully ignore the evidence. Just claim “no didn’t happen that’s probably faked image”.
Have you ever tries eating a part of your own body? I chewed the end of pinky off, a I could use it as a paintbrush.
300 words. WORDS. ON MY OWN BLOOD.
Just pleased explain to me how it makes sense in your little head that putting me in an isolation cell “for my protection”, while under constant supervision, someone would let this happen?
They also deleted the footage. Want to hear the phone call with my lawyer when he talks about it?
You still wouldn’t believe it.
This is exactly what I mean. Deluded people excusing authoritarianism, because “oh but the police were always polite to me”.
Youre deluded and doing hardcore avoidance, which is endemic to Finland or at least Finns and that’s been my point all the time.
Want to put a reminder for two years because ECHR takes years to handle human rights violation cases.
I starred filming the cops the instant they forced my door open and came into my apartment without a permission. (Search warrants aren’t like in the US, but you do need to be a senior constable to be able to decide it, neither of them were.)
The 6s bit I managed to film I used, and Korkein oikeus agreed with me.

You’re just deluded. Willfully ignorant. Guess what things that leads in a society? "Oh everything is well, these well documented abuses definitely don’t happen because officers on the street know how to smile at me at traffic stops.
I never had a single issue with cops either. Until they abused me.
You trust you have rights because they’re in the law. Unfortunately doesn’t matter at all. The cops investigating themselves? Guess if they found fault about themselves?
In the US at least there’s people who demand their rights, which is why they can’t have entirely cases mistrialed, because there’s actually people in the US who believe and understand people have rights.
You don’t even have the capacity for empathy, much less an understanding of human rights or standing up for justice.
Coward.
I’m thoroughly puzzled by what the fuck you are on about
Read the conversation back and see how many times you’ve even implicitly acknowledged I was stuck in a cell writing with blood on the walls, breaking my basic human rights.
The fact that I have to actually spell it out for you IS the problem. That IS the avoidance I’m talking about.
You came to this thread to tell me Finnish people don’t do the exact thing you’re doing. Congrats.
It’s always the same, and I’m tired of how deeply embedded that is in Finnish culture.
Who peed in your cornflakes today?
So you’re trying to score internet points by ridiculing a victim of torture.
Cool beans man, definitely proves me wrong, right?
