    Japanese will do anything but open their borders to normal amounts of immigration. :cringe:

    Still one of the most fucked up countries on the planet.

      I agree that they're too strict on immigration, but I'm not sure it's the best solution to prevent a population collapse. You're just brain-draining other countries, and eventually the rest of the world's population will stabilize and you won't have any more people left to bring in. It would help for several decades though.

        is it though? How do you explain the Karoshi phenomenon then?

        The entire country is one big hydraulic press, squeezing as much labor and productivity as possible

          And yet, as I said in this one specific instance thir xenophobia is preventing the dilution of their labor power.

        Protecting them from capitalism?? You ever been to Japan? It's one of the most company/brand/product centric places in the world and you can tell at a glance.

          And in this one case the xenophobia adds additional barriers to the work force preventing capitalism from decreasing labor power as much as they would like.
