    That's not really true, and what does that have to do with the parent's assertions? Take Canada as an example then. It has a strong welfare state, is neither miserable and poor, nor ethnically homogenous. To be clear, neither Canada nor Scandinavia is perfect nor perfectly happy.

    Lots of countries are ethnically homogenous and yet, they are fucking hellholes.

  They do seem rather miserable.

    Maybe they just don't have to pretend to be cheerful all the time. https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2023/world-happiness-trust-and-social-connections-in-times-of-crisis/#ranking-of-happiness-2020-2022 https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2023/world-happiness-trust-...
