Japan ‘on verge of no longer functioning’ after birth rate plummets to record new low
-
They need a sexual revolution , people are too uptight and stuck into their societal norms. I

I'm not sure how true this statement is. I go to Japan every year and the child care infrastructure there is incredible.
The healthcare is icredible - you can literally summon healthcare assistant if youe kid is sick at any point for free to your home
Then there's incredible public transporatiob system, parks, everything is equipped with child support and even culture heavily respects kids so they can do most things independently.
I think they mean expensive time and desire wise and Japanese still work incredible hours many of which seem to actually negatively impact productivity. People don't feel like such investment is worth it and tbh that could easily shift around with cultural changes but Japan is very allergic to those.

Europe has strong immigration policies and can easily correct if needed. Italy is already outsourcing most of elderly care to other Europeans - who's caring for Japan's elderly?
-
Most likely themselves....

Surely if just just instill good Christian moral values like forced birth, racism, and tribal isolationism all their problems will be solved.
-
Thats not necessarily true. Pension just needs the economy to grow and even with less people the economy can be stimulated through technology. If 1 japanese with technology can produce product equivalent of 1950s 3 Japanese than that's growth.
-
Yup and that's how we get headlines like Elderly people in Japan are getting arrested on purpose because they want to go to prison
-
They seem to be electing a lot of nationalist anti-immigration cucks. Maybe they should try to fix the problem instead of endlessly complaining about it.
-
Yeah, the idea that intelligence can only be inherited is the major flaw to it.
-
They've got women's rights but they hate immigration, this outcome is inevitable regardless of socioeconomic equality.
-
I assume they were making a point about nationalism and racism in Japan, which is strong to say the least. Especially for dark skinned people.
I assume their comment had nothing to do with Brazil.
-
If the Japanese want people to work 80 hour weeks (and go drinking with their boss every night) maybe they should make polyamorous marriage a thing. Kids are a lot easier to deal with if you have help.
-
... which is a serious threat to said overlords, ironically.
-
That's not the main problem here.
-
Expecting Japan to ever really throw off the yoke of the LDP is expecting too much.
-
The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren't that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.
The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners...but Japan changes at a glacial pace.
I'm sure they'll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40

These people worship their god almost identically to the way religious brain-rot peasants of the dark ages did, it's just their god is "The Markets," thinking it bears mircales through human sacrifice and suffering, except for the Divine bloodlines of their billionaire Kings and Queens their suffering is spared because "Where would society be without
Kingsbillionaires." They think they're so smart and ahead of the game, they think their bank account proves it, when really they're dumber and less significant than a medieval peasant. Centrist free-market libertarians are a horrible, gutless bunch of egotistical twerps out there. -
That’s an American point of view

There's still a lot of downsides to taking off work for one of the parents: not getting career progression, smaller pension, etc. Those are things that should also be fixed in an equitable manner, and as far as I know, no country does that. Basically treat raising children as the full time job it really is.
