This thread reminds me of a Japanese girl who was visiting Boston. Couldn't game her due to logistics, but given how rare it is to meet Japanese I had to ask the tough questions.

"Your birthrates are falling, aren't you worried?"

"No, we'll be okay. We have plenty of people to spare."

"But if your numbers drop aren't you worried about China invading?"

"No, because China's population is falling as fast as ours."

Bam. I got check-mated by a girl. But it's true, the Japs got nothing to worry about.

I think it may be falling faster in fact.
There is one issue though, China does have thirsty men who may get antsy... may end up using the army as an outlet for their aggression

Japan is basically at the forefront of shrinking birthrate without having compensating immigration.

Economists scream about "economic stagnation" while Japan continues to be a perfectly pleasant place to live with a high living standard.

It is a small island after all, it would undoubtedly be nicer if it were less populated.

In fact high population density is known to correlate with low birth rates, as family formation becomes prohibitively expensive, since the price of housing becomes so high in high population density areas.

Likely at some point it will even out as fewer people around means real estate prices begin to drop and family formation becomes more affordable and the asexual genes die off.

Yep. People keep making the falling birthrates as if it's the end of the world.

Europe lost 50% of it's population due to the bubonic plague, and population came back no problems. Similar wars and famines have occurred elsewhere.

Why would a natural dip in birthrates be a threat? Makes no sense, you can feel how desperate the globalists are to let in immigration to Japan so they can exploit the shit out of it.

The real issue with Europe is ethnic unrest with you know who. Since that population is growing. That may be scare mongering that I fell for but the issue should be discussed instead of OMG YOU BIGOT!

Well, population decline isn't a problem by itself, but it is when combined with massive immigration.

Had the country been allowed to retain its sovereignty, like Japan, then natural population probably means nothing.
