  1. So we only need people in construction? Why should construction be the only industry taken over? What about your industry? Relative wages have plummeted in construction because it's now 85% foreigners in the big cities. It's very rare to hear English on a construction site now. It's not like they can't find locals. They just don't want to because they'd have to pay living wage. Instead they hire foreigners who either can afford it because they live multi generational in the same household, or ones who accept the job offers before understanding how little money it actually is vs living costs.

  2. No non-western country would tolerate this. Imagine Japan allowing Tokyo to be 65% non-ethnic Japanese. It would never happen. Even many poor countries have laws to discourage foreign ownership of businesses and real estate because they know it would all get bought up and they'd lose what they want to hold on to. I'd feel weird if I moved to Sri Lanka and it was mostly Asians and whites and Filipinos and you mostly heard english. They'd be furious, and rightly so.

  4.  @maxweinbach3996  Need and want are two different things. Japanese are incredibly protective of their culture. They certainly do hand out citizenship like western nations do.

  5.  @jermainenowels9511  Predominantly european countries with similar values and a large english speaking population. Of course others are welcome as well, but there's not a country on earth that wants people who come from areas with totally different values and ideals to come in en masse and totally alter the fabric of society. Imagine if Tokyo was 65% non-ethnic Japanese and spoke 15 different languages. They would not be cool with it. Neither would Argentinians if Buenos Aires was suddenly all Filipino and African. The concept of wanting to preserve your culture is only controversial in the West.

  6. Yup. It's not tinfoil hat to notice it happened in all western countries at the exact same time. Of course it's planned.
