Why is the supposed "Greatest Country In the World" consistently the 2nd or 3rd most depressed country in the world? What is the US doing wrong? (Page 3)
Because it's the only developed country with no universal healthcare, no paid family leave and the most guns. Many Americans are living in fear of death.
I forgot to mention the Federal Reserve and general world central banking zionist Cartel the people who truly control the dispersion of wealth discriminately.
It's called First World Problems. When you live in a god-forsaken shithole there isn't time for depression. Same holds true in the shittier parts of the US. Depression is more closely associated with the First World disease known as "affluenza."
I think there's people all over the world being the masters of their own lives. In many respects Europeans are more free in their own personal lives than Americans. If for no other reason than not being tied down to a 60 hour work week with stagnant wages.
The reason we have homeless people is because people can't run their lives properly, but that's a continuum. Homelessness is just at the bottom. Depression is somewhere in the middle.
homelessness is another thing entirely. I'm talking about America's white collar lifestyle of being married to your job because it's so demanding. That's why The Great Resignation has happened. People are seeing they have money, but nothing to spend it on. Basically because you dont have time to enjoy anything since you're back at office again same time tomorrow... and maybe overtime too.
its definitely a lot for sure. If you had to put like a top 3 or top 5 what do you think the biggest factors are? Medical? Work Environment? Mass Consumerism? just curious
Rights over bodily autonomy are constantly under assault, wages are far too low for the cost of living and were stuck in a perpetual culture war with dipshits and assholes
I've clocked out of the culture war years ago. It's pure cancer tbh. Wages I agree, far too low... that or the cost of living is just too damn high. In many countries they make far less than us and have all they need and then some. Everything is out of control here with prices.
@t-8900 well too much freedom causes chaos, morals and values are lost, everything that is done which are considered wrong are allowed under the name of freedom, there are no boundaries...
When the real love is lost, the real essense of marriage and family are lost, what do you expect? A broken depressed lost generation!
A place where there is no difference between a man and woman, where everyone lives by their own and are affraid to say that they need each other because the society will take it as a point of weakness... etc
Too much unplanned pregnancies, lost teenagers, drugs everywhere, no one cares about the other and scholars are being paid to make the people swallow the idea that there is no god, no bible and that our lives ain't special and we just exists randomly...
The list never ends...
Ok the other side of the world, there are countries who are extremists, commits horror acts under the name of religion and subject under the dictatorship rules...
Just like too much freedom causes chaos, also too much oppression causes murders and wars!
Humans are still primitive because they can't even build a balanced place where a person gets all the positive points from both world...
We don't even deserve the love of god!
Maybe someday everything will change to the better, well i hope so!
There are still good people and that's what makes us stronger...
In the past if someone wanted to committ suicide, everyone ran to save him/her it was like a red alert and when someone dies, everyone mourns and the dead is fully respected and prayed for to go to heaven unlike these days, if someone dies no one cares, if someone wants to committ suicide, there are people who will encourage this act and are happy if the victim does it...
No value for the human life...
Love these days is just a fake feeling, no one understands what a real love is, it's just words, i love you and you love me and that's it just words and anyone can say i love you and on the 1st turn, you will be dumped and left alone to suffer... etc

its a complicated answer but rampant individualism is a huge component among them.
Well electing Obama and Biden into office was of no help.
War isn’t fun. When you’re top, you’re always under attack.
The electoral system is geared to extremes, not compromise. Belief is thought to be more important than actual knowledge.
Multi-Culti-Globo-Homo/(((them))) propaganda./unchecked illegal (and) legal immigration.

People that can't cope with being the master of their own lives. Most people do not deserve their freedom, they can't handle it.
