How can an arguably one of the best places to live in the world have a birth rate so low?
>>225562086High IQ people realize having kids is a scam.
>>225562086the fuck does that mean? Just because you have prosperity you should shit out kids?
>>225562086The Japanese are worked like dogs and forced to get drinks with their bosses after work too. The work culture there is fucking insane and it's really no wonder there's such high suicide rates + people aren't having kids as a result.
>>225562086People who have choices don't need to have kids.
>>225562086Pretty pictures of temples doesnt mean Japan is a paradise retard
>>225562086>one of the best places to live in the world>The most popular youth fantasy in their own entertainment media is to hopefully get killed by a train and reincarnate in another world, mostly medieval europe, far away from their country>Not a single one of those stories features the protagonist wanting to return to their countryWhy is there such a dichotomy between what OP is claiming and the actual facts?

>>225562086High cost of living of living and changes in lifestyle I guess.
>>225564086you can't project history onto the present era 1:1, most golden ages NEEDED a workforce. The modern world does not.
>>225562086>Erm it’s the uh cost of ramen noodles and long work hours No, the Japanese are passive beta males. The same curse that affects the average incel on this website where they waste their life and dont assert themselves for some pussy is the same curse that effects all Japanese men.
>>225564086>points to the one time period that is actively going to be looked back as an outlier (post-WW2 baby boom)>yeah that's how it worked for millenniaI'm glad that fertility rates have dropped significantly in the west as long as there are less retards like you around in the future.
