Great perspective. I’m glad Japan is taking a sensible approach to immigration so that it doesn’t become a toxic issue like it is in the Western world.

Another important thing to note is that I believe a lot of the leftist attacks on Japan come from believing what the right-wing types are saying about the country. Right wing says it’s a homogeneous based paradise? Left believes it and says it’s a racist society.

The fact is that no country runs according to the priorities of online shouters — not Japan, not Russia (another alleged “based paradise”), not Israel, not even Hungary. Thanks to bad demographic trends, immigration will be an issue for the foreseeable future, so good information is crucial.

I regret to inform you that that some people are spreading the idea of "the Japanese replacement". 🤦‍♀️ Lotus Eaters put this out, recently: https://youtu.be/DrH_73fSyVk?si=ZDjY1h6wVuMY-Vak
