The “woke” left is vocal and passionate. They drive normal people insane with their inane social justice warrior crusades, which, when stripped down, are quintessential First World problems. They will move heaven and earth to shut down food trucks that sell empanadas because the owners are white but do little to house illegal aliens roaming their neighborhoods. They will have the gall to complain about the construction of hundreds of African water wells because the person footing the bill is a rich, white online influencer. These aren’t serious people, and they have the mother lode of mental problems.
A new study from Finland found the “woke” are the most miserable people on Earth.
“We didn’t need a ‘study’ to know this,” quipped Libs of TikTok. Yes, the data isn’t set in stone yet, but we’ve seen enough in the real world to know woke leftists are indeed miserable and sad people (via NY Post):

Psychological researchers in Finland have created an assessment to help measure an individual’s commitment to principles of social justice and made some surprising findings across the Finnish population — including a negative correlation between progressive ideals and levels of happiness.
Their findings, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, suggest other Western nations may see similar patterns among their socially conscious citizens.
Study author Oskari Lahtinen, a senior researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre at the University of Turku, remarked that the “woke” discourse has since worked its way into Finnish discourse.

However, the most concerning finding was the relationship between mental health and agreement with the scale. Specifically, researchers found a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in people who believe the statement “If white people have on average a higher income than black people, it is because of racism.” More broadly, they found that those who identified as left-wing were most likely to report lower mental well-being.
Lahtinen warned against extrapolating their findings to international audiences just yet, particularly across Western nations.
When your worldview is that everything is racist, oppression, and overall hell, how could that not impact your mental health? The worst is that these people truly think that their actions can reverse this trend when none exist. It’s another habit these folks tend to wade too far in that warps their mind: the obsession with being on the “right side of history,” as if these clowns know the direction of that arc. They don’t. And as we’ve seen with transgender issues, the left was very much on the wrong side on that one. There is a backlash that’s coming, and it’s unavoidable as science and an unbeatable coalition of feminists, conservatives, liberals, independents, and de-transitioners have taken down the core tenets of transanity. It has already happened across the pond. It’s coming to America soon.
What will that do to the mental health of the woke?
