A Japanese nationalist party led by fiery anti-globalist Sohei Kamiya was among the biggest winners in this summer’s parliamentary election

Outside a train station near Tokyo, hundreds of people cheer as Sohei Kamiya, head of the surging nationalist party Sanseito, criticizes Japan’s rapidly growing foreign population.

As opponents, separated by uniformed police and bodyguards, accuse him of racism, Kamiya shouts back, saying he is only talking common sense.

Sanseito, while still a minor party, made big gains in July’s parliamentary election, and Kamiya’s “Japanese First” platform of anti-globalism, anti-immigration and anti-liberalism is gaining broader traction ahead of a ruling party vote Saturday that will choose the likely next prime minister.

    the country HAS to improve the life of persons, particularly women, so that having children and raising them to adulthood is a activity that is more joy than stress.

    There is no developed country on the planet where women have the replacment rate or more of children…it will never matter how much support they get. Look to Sweden etal

    Always and every time if women are given the ability to be independent and have a choice they will nearly all choose 0,1 or 2. All of that leads to negative population growth. For every woman that chooses 0, you need another that chooses 3 or 4 just for stasis

    What you’re describing does and would never exist unless women are coerced, have no contraception or are brainwashed (religion) the vast majority obky ont 0,1 or 2.

    To have a larger family women need a tribe, we no longer live in tribes (as we did for nearly all of human existence) so the support network is a horror and always will be with the stupidity that is a nuclear famiky.

    Then there is ecology, the planet is massively over populated, we are killing ourselves in our own filth, we should have less then a billion people amd probably closer to 100 million.

      I know 3 women that enthusiastically have/had 3 or 4 children. It’s possible when their community acts as a tribe, possibly through governmental support.

          Not opinions, experience. But, yes, no industrialized country has a birth rate above replacement. The last time the U.S. was even at replacement at 2007, and that is an outlier. EDIT: That doesn’t mean such birth rates are impossible without coercion, just that we haven’t found the right enticements and political will to enact them.
