^^^^Sounds like the simple truth to me. If people want social security, then they have to contribute to society with well raised children, and with productive work and savings.
Society fails when too many precious snowflakes deny this and demand everyone around them deny it too for the sake of their feeelings.

Japan's population is 126 million, tightly packed in an archipelago where a lot of the land is mountainous terrain. The country has been overpopulated, they could go on and thrive with a population of 60M-80M.

^ Truth. The elite is concerned about declining populations because it hurts "economic growth", which is a euphemism for the shafting of the middle class while they run off with all the fucking money an power.

^Nah that's nonsense. The average Japanese works like 14 hours a day. The least the oligarchs over there can do is give em a decent retirement.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Japan-...ill-passes Coming to one of the most homogenous countries in the world.... Perhaps its smart as fertility rates are extremely low in Japan and the population will fall off a cliff in the next few decades. Im interested to see how much more automatedJapanese society will become as well.
Ultimately, we should care more about being effective than simply nobly intentioned. It is not enough to dream well: the true measure is what we achieve.

Japan also has a weird macroeconomic situation - their debt to GDP ratio is over 200% as their Central Bank keeps printing yen and buying up various assets around the country. I wonder if they will ever have a financial crisis or can keep doing this to infinity.
