Common theme with East Asia is the "population will shrink until society collapses"

Also I see this with the UK and Europe too, sometimes Canada. Always stuff like "something bad is gonna happen" with an image of stuff burning, as implying civil war because of reasons(?) ๐Ÿค”

Seems kinda clickbaity

I see this on Youtube, Reddit, news, the internet in general.

Yeah but that would mean the death of their cultures. Japan (and SK prolly as well) has a lot of complicated societal values, norms and culture that you can't just learn as a foreigner, or at least that's my impression. Opening the floodgates would make Japan cease to exist, as it would continue to exist only on paper. A country defines itself via culture, tradition and shared values. If those get lost because of immigration, then does this country really still exist?

  • Given the culture philes that seem to learn every last little thing Im certain it can be learned. Likely global media is a bigger threat to their cultures. Its kinda a scarecrow type of argument. The current generations of all countries are way different than just a few generations ago.
