      So, when people say they’ll be happy in utopia, they’re unintentionally making a depressing dark joke?

        They are essentially saying that they would be happy in a place that does not exist. Doesn’t exclude the possibility that happiness could still be found in a place that does.

      This the etymology yes.

      “But it now usually describes an ideal society that is considered better than contemporary society.”

      So, as you can see we’re not in ancient greece, are we? “Buzz lightyear smug squint”
