Constant whining is basically a national sport in Germany. Yes, there are way too many poor and homeless people here too, but the ones crying the loudest are mostly middle class people who are financially secure. Its either that their neighbour has a bigger car or they blame society that no one likes them.
Yep. It also varies quite a bit by state: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/282179/umfrage/regionale-lebenszufriedenheit-in-deutschland/ https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/gluecksatlas-114.html

This is such a big factor. Good luck forcing a Finn to complain about literally anything.
Why is the top comment some stereotype trying to explain away the results?
