Utilitarianism is not a single philosophy, but a grouping of many different forms, with differing goals. One does not fit all.

Least here in Denmark we are nurishing sickly narcissistic kids and people that only think of their own happiness, and will spit, beat and in any way destroy people that dare oppose them with reason!

You see in USA how fans will molest their idol, by cutting their cloth and grab a souvenir, that is unthinkable in other countries.

Parents are sickly concerned about keeping their children happy, thus spoil them rotten, and not teach them the skills to interact properly in society, to teach them manners and selfrespect, to set goals and learn principles, thus these kids often end up depressed and in solitude, because they have no skills for jobs, nor social interaction.

..this is how happiness will lead to immense selfness and thus become in itself extremely destructive.

In my experience unhappy people are far more dangerous and destructive than happy ones.
But kittens are still pretty useless, unless your home is infested by baby mice.
