On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
And if more people were following the news in Japan andd it's politic, they would know that yes the population is shrinking, but the goverment is 100% fine with it and one of their very own goal is to get from the current 128 millions japaneses to about 100 millions. (or if you prefer, after the current 80+ years old generation die).
Not getting new immigrant is just "helping" them to get to that 100m mark faster, if i can say that

While I am generally in favor of open borders, I do find that this universal dependence on cheap labor is morally sickening and economically unsustainable. China is quickly transitioning from supplying cheap labor to demanding it from further afield, and India is quickly following suit. Even Africa is developing rapidly, so in a few decades nobody there is going to be willing to do the shit jobs either. I suppose the hope is that automation can pick up the slack, but that raises a host of issues of its own.
Even if they did, there are fewer young people in general in the country. Once more it is a problem Japan shares with many countries.
The issue I take with the "JUST TAKE MIGRANTS BRAH!" crowd is that it will incentivize those countries with this problem to keep the source of the migrants forever poor and hellish so as to act as fresh flesh farms rather than solving their own birth rate issues.
Something I'm trying to talk to a few about but 'round and 'round we go on the issue.

How exactly do you propose to solve the low birth rates? You can't force people to have children if they don't want to, and the cost of raising kids in first world countries will far outstrip any financial incentives the government could offer. Certainly Japan's approach of trying to shame their young people into starting families is not an effective policy.

Japan is also a highly xenophobic and racist nation. They're just not out there waving flags about it or shoving their arrogance and elitism in other people's faces.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Trying to decrease the population is difficult because, as the Japanese are currently discovering, having an inverted age pyramid where a shrinking group of young adults have to support a growing population of retirees is unsustainable.
The problem with modernity is that it encourages people to actually give a shit about their kids, and to spend vast sums making sure they grow up healthy and strong, attend the best schools, participate in sports, music, and other character building activities, and have all of the other advantages they need to succeed in a competitive world. All of this is extremely costly and many parents would rather just invest in a single child rather than having to spread their resources across several.
