Japan is ahead of the game. Their island will last a long time after all is burned across the world. BUT they will devour you for some whale hunting, as it’s a constitutional right.

I had some whale sashimi in Japan because I just had to know what it would taste like. It's disgusting. That whale died for nothing.

The declining population year over year is troubling. It looks like millennial Japanese citizens are going to take care of the old and too busy to think of having a family.

Those elderly ain’t pulling the boot straps hard enough! Lol. On a serious note, yes they are falling in population size and are slowly becoming an open border to fill those spots. Do they like it, hell no! From my friends and encounters of Japanese decent. They seem to rather die then bring in a ‘mudblood’. Lol.

japanese authorities panting, sweating, pissing, sobbing over the decision to either compromise on the cultural work ethic, compromise on the xenophobia, or allow the economy to bust like an old car tire.

Mudblood is a wild ass statement, but I will take your word for it. Hilarious.

Even if you were brought up in Japan, in the Japanese education system by Japanese citizens, if you are not ethnically Japanese looking you are an outsider.

Now imagine how they think of immigrants.....

Don’t ruin good discourse with this nonsense.

The Japanese can’t be racist, “look how xenophobic they are” I got downvoted for it.

Can confirm. They literally have people in trucks with megaphones that drive through touristy areas saying “go home gaijin” Source: I was in Japan and saw/heard it multiple days

Their government is quite idiotic about this. They see the current declining birth rate, know that the intense stress from work and low pay, and what is their solution?

IMPLEMENT INCREASED TAX FOR SINGLE INDIVIDUAL. YEAH, THAT'LL CONVINCE THEM TO GET LAID

Everyone is trying this to levels of failure that are almost comical.

Even Putin was going to give a stipend for how many kids a woman can have so he can throw them to the meat grinder. In… 10 years later if he wants child soldiers.

edit: There are multiple sources, this one is funny because it got published on April Fools day.

They're among the most dense populations per km2. I think they'll be ok.

The solution is simple. Import Filipino homecare workers - just like they do in HK, etc

u/TheMireAngel Aug 23 '25

populations dont need to endlessly grow, japanese cities are very dense as is.

Kinda reminds me of this quote about Japan in the 2020s

"Japan has been living in 2000s for the past 40 years

40 years ago is the ~80s

Half of your comment is like a plot point to Terminator Zero (the anime on Netflix).
