  1. The housing solution is multi-generational homes and not giving everyone an individual room. Also Japan has very cheap rural housing but everyone moves to the city to try for jobs that largely aren't available and haven't been since the crash.

  2. They can just force marriages or make baby farms, whatever the solution I'm sure it will be similarly horrific to the one child policy.

  3. I'm guessing the dislike of US servicemen is due to their low social prestige and bad reputation (for crime especially). The farmer thing is interesting and sounds like a major problem, I know that Tokyo is the socially prestigious place to be and they have major problems with the sex industry as that is how many women have to fund living there. I wonder what the solutions would be other than a campaign of national shame. Which is unlikely to happen given that western influence is starting to cause things to spiral.

  4. Contraceptives means that people only have a higher fertility rate with higher sexual contact if stupid (literally, the sub-80 iq people are typically the only ones who have above replacement as they can't work out how to use contraceptives properly and are too lazy to do anything once they are pregnant, also children are less of a bother if you just don't look after them), the higher rates of sex does lead to more pregnancies outside of marriage (because contraceptives don't work 100%) but this is then want abortion is used for. The higher rates of sex only matter among the people who want children (as in are trying for them, most people who won't have children do want them but will never get round to it) or if contraceptives or abortion are banned (and well, contraceptives lead to a sickening social context and abortion is baby murder). Our options are encourage people to marry young (probably through a traditional religion) or force the circumstances into a state where they have to (which would basically turn this whole thing around tomorrow but would have to be enforced). Frankly we might as well do both.

  5. Same birthrate as Europe, it's basically liberal cultural values and social organisation.

  6. That doesn't matter, what does is that the social norms promoted by religion include large families, a positive attitude towards children and a hatred of contraceptives. At least within Christianity.

  7. Population collapse is literally a collapse, it's like an inverse pyramid, it is in no way manageable.

  8. Japan is under huge western pressure to accept mass immigration, if it does it won't last long, it will be flooded in very short order as land is cheap and it is known as a first world country. Probably the first wave will be fleeing westerners and the ones after that the same people who have invaded Europe.

  9. This is deeper than national cultures, western culture is based on Christianity, for Asia to adopt the same moral assumptions they would have to become Christian. Many of the immigrants the West are Muslim, they will eat the societies out from the inside as the moral systems are not even slightly compatible. Also immigration does nothing about shit culture, western nations will lose their character hollowing out developing nations and then die because they have become nothing more than a failed economic model which feeds off foreign young.
