Quote:

Psychological researchers in Finland have created an assessment to help measure an individual's commitment to principles of social justice and made some surprising findings across the Finnish population - including a negative correlation between progressive ideals and levels of happiness.

Their findings, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, suggest other Western nations may see similar patterns among their socially conscious citizens.

their research trajectory included extensive reading on intersectional feminism, critical race theory, queer theory, and other relevant academic disciplines that inform critical social justice…


Whelp there you have it. A comprehensive scientific survey showing the more woke you are, the less happy you are.

Plenty of unhinged posters here that can fully confirm their misery with America, freedoms, and biological sex. I believe it

They want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Simple average powers of observation could tell you immediately that Wokistanis are inherently unhappy, bitter, and spiteful people. That doesn't require research but, a grant is a grant.

This is a giant "no ****, Sherlock" study.... of course they're depressed and miserable. If I was that wrong about everything, I would be too.

Well yeah that's social sciences for you. The easiest things to prove are the things everyone knows are true. They don't call it the "soft sciences" for nothing.

On the other hand it's nice to have some scientific evidence to throw in libs faces, since science is their religion.

Only if it agrees with their feelings

lol as if any "science" was actually needed. All you have to do is look around and observe and it's blatantly obvious. The happiest people are grounded people with traditional values, many with stable families, and the most miserable tend to have embraced fear as their god. With the absolute most miserable being brainwashed feminists. Poor kids growing up in violent ghettos are happier than your avg modern feminist.

Ideologies that grant unearned moral virtue and credit are popular and attractive to those with less stable and more neurotic or depressed mental states. It's a form of self therapy really. Assume the ideological views that tell you you are better and superior for believing and adopting and sharing the views, or even for doing what would otherwise be unacceptable negative things in support of the ideology. Without doing an actual thing to make yourself or society around you a better place, you can claim credit for participating in an ideological movement that claims to inherently result in improvement without ever being put to the test, because it assumed all challengers are malefactors and evil.

No. People with mental illness are more likely to be woke.

This is correct. The less mentally stable persons chose wokeness to gratify themselves and delude themselves in an attempt to feel more morally superior. They may have issues snd problems and be a mess, but at least they believe the "proper" things and are superior to all the cretins that don't, and without even having lifted a finger to do anything…,

Envy is the most dangerous and destructive of the seven deadly sins. Fundamentally all Left Wing politics are based around that sin and utilizing the power of it to drive an agenda.

Progressivism (aka "Wokeism") is a movement/culture based nearly 100% on grievance. Nothing is ever "solved". There has to be a constant source of grievance for it to thrive. Someone or something is always oppressed. They have this mindset of a utopia that will never exist on this earth so they constantly look for the aggrieved party to defend.

I don't need research and science to tell me that progressives are inherently miserable people.

Of course they are. What kind of idiot would expect otherwise?

"Woke" people see a world that they believe to be inundated with injustice and are utterly convinced that too little is being done to address it.

Whether you agree with their assessment or not, once you UNDERSTAND their assessment, how could anyone with a functioning brain NOT expect them to be depressed?

So, bad combination of mental issues and laziness? Makes sense.

I think it's why you don't hear much from conservatives outside of boards like these. Conservatives are simply more content and just want to live their lives and not be interfered with by an incompetent, inefficient government that only ever creates bigger problems anytime it attempts to solve a problem; typically a problem first created by an incompetent, inefficient government.

Anyone who actually WANTS to UNDERSTAND the motivations of good people who see the world differently than themselves ... should read this book.

Cliff Notes: Not all humans are wired the same way. Different people are motivated to differing extents by different considerations.



Or maybe everyone who thinks differently than you is just mentally-ill.

Well when a majority of people that care about victim/oppression are on brain altering psychotropic drugs to treat some sort of mental illness.... the assumption has merit.

Not REMOTELY what the study you are mis-quoting says.

Your first thought is not "That book looks fascinating. I will take a look." Instead, "AND they are all on drugs."

Thanks for proving my point.

I have no quarrel with people who think differently than do I. My issue is with those that would elect a government that would force me to live by their world view.

I dont think going woke makes you unhappy.

I think unhappy people tend to go woke.

Maybe it's 'misery loves company', maybe it's them trying to fill a void/hole in their life, maybe it's them simply lashing out because they dont like themselves, maybe they're jealous, or maybe they're just confused and find a home/family amongst this crowd.

There might be many reasons, but it seems, most the time, they start out unhappy and gravitate to woke ideals.

You misspelled InJuStIcE!!!

Seriously, I have zero problem with people who think differently than I do. That's what makes the world go round. I *do* have a problem with people who create their own boogie men to fight just because they've never had any real hardship in their own lives.

I often times think about how happy a person must be to be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia or a wealthy christian in Spain or the Czech Republic or Switzerland

or a wealthy communist in China

no one is trying to kill you, no one is trying to blow up your country, no one is changing your society all around you.

compare and contrast with being a Jewish conservative.

When we all know these people are on brain altering drugs it explains the book quite easily without having to read the book.
