I can at least objectively compare countries and governments. And in those, quality of life is objectively worse than that in Europe. Not because of the people, but the governments and systems in place. And that is my point, the countries that you, and apparently the US, listed are just some of the many, many countries that are untrustworthy in themselves - as political body to interact with. And for most things, especially to do with cyber security and privacy, I also include the USA and partly even Germany and the rest of the EU due to recent political motivations towards mass surveillance. Yet, it’s better to live in than those countries.

Not only are you wrong, but you also omit the important fact that the standard of living in Europe is built on brutal exploitation of the people in the Global South being the clown that you are.

Once again you honor us with a reductive argument based on a soundbite you heard and didn’t spend any time actually thinking about. The reality is that wealth beyond a certain point stops making people happy https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/does-more-money-correlate-greater-happiness-Penn-Princeton-research

Also, everything is not built on exploitation. Only an utter ignoramus brainwashed by capitalism would believe that.
