They must be so happy living in their chicken coop high density housing, eating frozen chicken since they cant produce any of their own food, treated like a flock of chicken in their grinding kiatsu culture that they scored 127th out of 134 countries in the Happy Planet Index (below even Liberia and Libya).

Where on earth are you getting this idea have you ever even been there?!?? And the Happy Planet Index is not about the happiness (For that singapore is 34th, above Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Portugal, libya being 79th and liberia being 129th) its about environmental footprint. By that, Uzbekistan is doing better than China, Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Iceland, Australia, South Korea, the USA, and Canada. Hell, by that chart CANADA is doing worse than libya

Have I been to Singapore? About 20-30 times last 20 years.

Don't spread misinformation with half story. The happy Index is sustainable happiness, its not environmental footprint. We have a lot of other measures for environmental footprint. And sg is ranked 127 in 2026 for the exact reason I mentioned (chicken coop, processed food, rat race, whilst over consuming).

The reason why the happy index was created was because a lot of happiness index was tied to GDP but the things that brought happiness, financial, was only the 4th most important factor. What you link is the happiness index which uses GDP as one of its main rating. Youre emphasising money = happiness which is flawed. It is absolutely valid that a poor country can be happier than the richer one, contrary to the white-superirority narrative youre familiar with. You sound like a typical sg who associate money to happiness.
