I'm not happy at all about really anything gas prices have gone up food has gone up the government spilled spends trillions of dollars on a bunker for them in case anything ever happens Republicans and Democrats keep the same fight going bickering back and forth just to keep us so we don't know what's going on b*******we act like a bunch of sheep it's all we do is follow we the little people are the ones that should be running the country not big business big corporations but all our politicians have been bought out they sold out on us from the moment they get elected they start to collecting money for their next campaign for the next 2 years until re-election time out of 500 and something elected official seats not one of them dares to stand up and be great and the sad part is is we vote them all into office it's just as much our fault is theirs we need to get a backbone in the 50s 60s 70s when you didn't like something there would be a protest the little people the hippies they would protest and get change we don't care I guess hear one of the biggest things in the world is going to happen to us when our government becomes our bank we are f***** because they will control you like you will never ever believe they don't have to give you your money if you going to the grocery store and buy a bunch of food you whip out your phone swipe it against their little machine to let them know who you are and if they don't like you if I've been bad-mouthing the government on here like I always do they don't have to sell me anything sorry your card was declined there's a little problem someplace but will be happy to check into it when we have time blah blah blah blah blah they not only have all your money but they can control you they don't have to sell you food you are under their thumb forever I hope people stand up and really look at this and not let it happen for the last past 5 years we've been nothing but guinea pigs test rats since covid-19 we got 5G they came out the same time is your computer going faster is your phone going faster no it's not was covered because of 5G because 5G came out the same symptoms before covid did 5G is also a military weapon all they have to do is turn it on and miles and miles they could do you they will make you stay in your house because it will burn your skin I'm not happy at all there's hundreds and hundreds of things other things that's going on that I just disagree with but what I really disagree with it are the people not putting up a fight of any sort

When I'm afraid of is we are third world country right now prices of food have gone sky high but pretty soon there won't be any food because the government will control that if they shut down grocery stores are they turn off the power that's why you can get free solar paneling from your government because when they turn off the grocery store power there's no freezers people will be killing each other in the street for food but what are we going to do we're going to wait until the very last minute before we start whining and complaining and killing each other that's b******* I'm very unhappy

Times change, but society doesn't really change. This plane of existence is flawed. God allows Satan influence over it. I'm happy with ever day God gives me and do my best with it. Beyond that I do not worry about it.

I think we all kind of compare the present society with the society from our pasts or the society we were exposed to in our childhoods. (but I'm unsure here as some people might have had a really tough past)
I agree with @Potteplante 's point of rat race. Earlier people were more chilled out & living comfortably while having the recourses, n they didn't have to work so hard, be so perfect & compete so hard for it. Now, people need to be everything, have the most perfect body, "best aesthetic", "best outfits", highest followers UGH.. I hate myself to think this, as a feminist myself n someone who understands patriarchy n the need for "women's right", yet.., I think the competition doubled n is v high these days because women's participation into jobs is also v high now. Like if we look logically, that's addition of a lot of population, so competition for both the genders is v high. Along with that, women have to still do the hefty women jobs additional "expectations" cuz of social media. People's mental health is the worst: everyone seems internally insecure: all are constantly running to attain smth that's unattainable. Very less people exude 'gratefulness' n 'content'. They have lost connection with their roots and are all trying to converge, rush in towards becoming the same person (which the internet / Pinterest / Instagram controls). Majority can't even do smth good without sharing it or keep smth good hidden about themselves. people are more show-offs now constantly seeking approval of others. Many younger men also feel no need to hold down-to-earth values bcz they feel they can achieve more/get appreciated more being this way, than holding their own values (again social media their gender is more about "reputation!!").. and then they complain they're all sad. I hope China releases some computer virus this time which shuts down all the social medias (totally impossible).
I don't know how I'd be able to like & accept where the society is progressing.

No, I'd like more welfare back into the Danish soceity. I think it is a shame that when shit gets bad - it is the "weakest" groups in society that pay the price and selfishly - I'm tried of having to "work more - for less resources" which has been a mantra at my workplace the last 2 years and isn't going to change anytime soon.

We just had a mass shooting due to poor mental health services - which should NOT be happening. Children and the youths wellbeing and life quality - is going down, more and more fall behind the rat race, while blaming themselves for not being "good enough" because they can not handle all the demands there is today. In a couple of years - you'll have to be done deciding what you want to be - before even going to elementary school.

Lynx122 · Answer

I'm mostly happy with my country but I wuld be quite unhappy in most countries. I don't know why it's so hard to see that in a place where everyone has a chance to flourish it'll also be better for the economy. Instead a lot of governments sabotage their own country just for some short term profits for people who are already rich af. I don't know what it will take for people to see that things can be way better but I'mjust glad I was born in one of the few places where things mostly work like they should and are not corrupted to the point of comedy.

I used to be so interested in politics because I thought if I understand how things work maybe I can be a part of positive change but now I know I'm disabled and I have trouble just running my own life so I'm just focusing on that and politics is so toxic I wanna stay away from it. In my country people see how great things are if you have a functioning government and public services etc. So they buy into the concept of making things better for everyone through government but in other countries half the people are already against the concept of improving life through government from the start so how are you supposed to debate and come up with good solutions when half the people just want to go it on their own (until they need something).

Political discourse just feels like going outside in a hurricane and shouting at it angrily that's about how productive discussions are. Maybe you will find a way to improve things :)

MrOracle · Answer

I'm a huge supporter of the Founding Fathers' idea of what America should be, but I certainly am not happy with the many perversions that exist today. And make no mistake, they aren't accidents or random chance. It's quite literally the elites - such as the World Economic Forum - who are responsible for nearly all of it.

The WEF decided about 15 years ago that they (the elites) only needed about half a billion workers globally to support their lavish lifestyles, and that everyone else was unnecessary and thus undesirable. Their goal is to reduce the global population by 15/16ths - from about 8 billion to half a billion - with 50 years. This is, for example, something Bill Gates has talked about in places where ordinary people aren't expected to be or to be paying attention.

There is no way to naturally reduce a population that rapidly - not even close. In fact, there are only 2 ways that is likely to happen - a massive war or massive starvation. Do you think it's an accident that Bill Gates has been buying up huge amounts of farmland and discontinuing the farming?

All of this socially decisive policies are being pushed down from the top by the elites, to distract and divide the people so we more readily accept them taking control over everything. If they get their way, the people who are useful enough to be kept alive will be little more than slaves, while the elites will bulldoze entire cities and turn them into their personal ranches. It sounds crazy, but that's literally what they talk about.

dragoblack · Answer

Corrupt corporate CEOs and politicians manipulating out government for personal profit and control instead of doing their job to maintain the stability of society, society is designed to punish poor people for being poor, meanwhile healthcare is insanely expensive, and politics are treated as if it were a sports game instead of picking informed people ment for the positions, but the voting process is also manipulated, strong armed, and rigged into only allowing the choice to be between rich people who will fuck the country up more

dreamstar72 · Answer

) Society is getting bad. One of the main problem is the internet. No I love the internet, but the hate among people is the problem. Hey it must be done this way, no this way, hey it (he/she) did this, giving away money you do not have, buy this app, sponsor me/us/site etc. everything is computerized what going to happen if everything goes down (war, destruction by weather or what ever) and shuts down that thing we love the internet.

ManOnFire · Answer

No. I am happy for the opportunities and things I can have here as opposed to what some other societies have to go through, but at the same time I'm not pleased with all the other things and don't like very many people in my society. I think I'm more displeased with the mindsets than maybe the actual society itself.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I've never been lying to myself about it. I think people are largely a buncha whiny bishes who just want to complain about their problems but take no accountability for them nor do anything to correct them. I think now somebody's gotta be offended about EVERYTHING and cancel culture is f'ing imbecilic.

Girl242 · Answer

YEAH!  It's amazing. We're all free to create the live we want.  There is nothing stopping most people, except themselves, in my country from having a wonderful life. I'm glad we even get that freedom and chance. We get to choose to be who we want to be everyday. Everyday we're here one earth we get to choose to be who we want. It's unfortunate many seem to choose to be what they don't want.

menina · Answer

No, I'm not happy at all. We live in a society that glorifies evil, stupidity, greediness and selfishness. The human race is getting worse and worse. Truth be told, I feel sorry for the younger generations.

mstbooblover · Answer

No, I'm not at all happy with the society we live in. There are lots of things going wrong, and thus lots of things to be improved. Nevertheless, as Einstein stated about a similar question, I'm happy that society does exist...

With all its flaws and problems, I learned to deal with society. Let's say I'm accustomed to not be accustomed ;0)

I honestly don't think it's possible to be paying attention to what's going on and truly believe that we're all just kinda doing the best we can. That's a level of optimism I can't muster within myself.

I'm on a good 7, I have a good life, my close ones have a good life. I can save a nice amount. It's safe here. Everything is being upheld nicely.
Sure there's a few social issues, some housing issues, a bit of an economic depression, but I'd still rather have this society than living alone in the woods.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm from Europe but I guess everywhere is the same. I think technology destroyed our skills for social bonding, and feminism is like an icing on top of it. We have never been so many, so lonely, so dependent on technology and so distant from each other. People don't see values in traditions anymore, everything is temporary and instant gratification. Soon we won't have jobs/hobbies anymore either due to AI, and I foresee a massive suicide rate issue in 30-40 years.

Nope. And I think it’s days are limited. We’re about to be in the throes of a 4th turning and things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. And that’s not even considering whether or not we’re in the end times from a biblical perspective.

It is disorderly, starting with the feminist version of the family where the man plays a passive / no role besides financial. That's why Andrew tate blew up. Kids were looking for a father figure. All tate had to do was appear to be an object of desire and then preach his philosophy. Boys and men from 9 years old all the way up to 60 years old loved everything he was saying. For the first time in their life a man was telling them the right thing to do.
