well it used to be in the old days men would figure out how to court a woman, but that would require something called “effort”.....

In the old days, it was also one woman to a man. Now, several women would rather share one man and there are less available women.

Many women asked, many women said no because they’d rather be a concubine and it’s supposed to be the man’s fault.

I think the younger generations watch tv, see young adults living like promiscuous idiots, and think they want that....they have completely rejected the values of their parents and grandparents....its all very sad.

You are right on that and it is sad. They can’t see the end of their society because of it.

“The push to increase these populations is only to service the debt the countries have been running on, the United States included.”

This guy here gets it. The elites want to push artificial population growth so they can have more slaves for their mercantile and deep state dreams. Don’t forget the Soviet Union also pushed massive population growth as well.

The Emperor of Japan needs to issue an edict “Go thyself, I declare this is corking season, reproduce.”

By the 1850s, Japan was a backwards country in danger of being conquered by foreign powers, until Emperor Meiji overthrew his own government in 1868. It seems like that sort of drastic action is necessary again if the Japanese want to save themselves.

That’s a path the US itself might want to go down.

I get the concerns over pensions. That said, Japan crams over 120 million people into an area the size of California....but Japan is mountainous and a lot of their land is unsuitable to live on. So they are really packed in like sardines in the areas that are suitable.

Would it be so bad if their population slowly declined? Even at half its current population size, Japan would still be a relatively densely populated country.

Somebody has to pay for the pensions, so a declining is bad news on that. It compounds the costs of having children.

One thing funny about Japanese tourists, when they come to my country, is that they will ask the bus driver to pull over when they see a giant empty farmland and they will take pictures of that because they don’t have that in their country.

Yes. This is part of the decadence of Western Civilization.

So what is necessary if the Americans want to save themselves?

Even married couples have few children because it is expensive to have them.

they have rejected the concept of family (children)

many westernized nations are in population decline because family is no longer important

meanwhile third worlders are imported

Yea, because socialism drives up the cost of having children.

The show “Sex in the City” showed women the lifestyle.

As you pointed out, many, many women are chasing the top 10% of men. They’re all looking for the same - 6 feet tall, attractive with nice hair, a status career and lots of money.

I have met many single women in the plus 50 age group, and they are just as corrupt as the 20 year olds. Gone are the days finding a nice guy - it seems like they all chasing the same stereotype. You see it plainly on dating sites. Many spend their best years trying to land that perfect guy, only to finally become bitter cat ladies.

I blame it on 30 years of TV showing women sleeping their way to the top as an empowering lifestyle. Look no farther than the VP.

Then they blame the men for why men have made themselves absent.

A man who knows he will be rejected until his 30’s or 40’s will often choose to make himself absent permanently.

Many people are well too aware that, due to their dysfunctional upbringing, they're ill suited to be a parent and wish to spare any offspring what they went through.

It's not rare, nor isolated. It's in full view with streets littered with the self-medicating. Others mark themselves up, as though trying to erase what they see in the mirror. They bare their scars publicly as they stagger through life.

There are some people who should never be parents. Some know it before being a parent. Their offspring are likely a lot clearer on it before becoming a parent.

I watched a documentary on that on NHK. Some cities are very good, rural life probably not, mostly old structures there.
