I know Kalergi is meant to a "conspiracy theory" [clown face emoji], but it sure is looking like a conspiracy facty as time goes on. Destroy any strength of culture and destroy the bonds within the society, then rebuild the unguided, lost hotchpotch that remains into what every we want.

It’s true. Somebody’s gonna populate Japan. Unfortunately, there’s a zero % chance it’ll be Japanese people in the majority 50 years from now. There would be a chance for a recovery if young people got their faces out of their phones. It seems that the urge to procreate has been lost by the majority of child-bearing age women…and young men don’t seem to be trying to change their minds. Sad.

Well, they have to do something. Not saying that this is it, but there simply are not enough Japanese children to grow up and fill the positions needed to be filled to keep the country operating. Even now, at this moment, everywhere you look there are “help wanted” signs in windows. Even if every woman of child bearing age delivered a baby today, we’d have to wait 18 years before we could see an increase in young adult Japanese. This is another issue that needed to be addressed generations ago but was ignored until it’s too late to do anything.
