Japan has Gaijin Fatigue; will probably ban gaijin from owning homes...eventually
A political sea change is underway in Japan. Driven by a mix of economic, cultural, and ideological factors, many young Japanese people are growing frustrated with foreigners, and some reasons are genuine: poorly behaved tourists and wealthy foreigners (read: Chinese) involved in real estate speculation and buying up homes.
The number of Japanese zoomers interested in traveling or living abroad has sharply declined, dropping to about 25% compared to around 60% of Japanese millennials. Poor economic outlooks and a weak yen have contributed, but social and environmental factors also play a role: the pandemic pushed Japanese zoomers to rely heavily on the internet for socialization. This caused them to be bombarded with narratives portraying the world as a scary, dangerous place, and Japan as the only decent, civilized country. At the same time, foreigners in Japan are painted as criminals or parasites exploiting the social welfare system without contributing. These narratives are spread without evidence and often conflate issues caused by transient tourists with those involving long-term residents or naturalized citizens.
These dubious narratives, along with dissatisfaction over declining economic prospects, are shaping young people's voting choices as they seek to blame something tangible for rocketing food costs, property prices, a cheap yen, poorer career prospects, difficulty starting a family, and the dimming of Japan's "soft power" star.
The problem is, when Japanese government eventually drops the hammer, and starts doing things like banning foreigners from owning homes, I doubt their politicians are perceptive enough to distinguish between Chinese real estate speculators hiding wealth from their government while depriving Japanese families of homes, and foreign families who have lived in and contributed to Japan for decades.

Like what? Being patriotic? Yeah, I agree.
But taking the Japanese equivalent of /pol/ schizoposting seriously, and letting it determine your worldview? No, that's stupid.

Maybe if Japanese young people spend less time on the Internet and more time having sex and making babies this wouldn't be a problem. Don't spend your life jacking off to cartoons and then complain when foreigners come fuck your sex deprived women

Agreed but on the other hand, it shows you can destroy a society with just pandering to your olds and don't even need the nafris really
>>213666349
Bringing in all these fuckass tourists is pandering to olds. It's the politicians and their business-owning friends who are making all the profits from tourism.

I get that tourism is a plague but it's nothing compared to muslims coming to permanently live in your country. And isn't it just a result of the yen being so weak that everyone is flocking over there?

You can stop tourism in a single law. Stopping nafris and blacks from outbreeding us is pretty much impossible

Pointless whining. You can't bitch about tourism and people moving in while having no real alternative or even started devising one
It's hilarious how Japs think they're being invaded. Go to Europe and you'll see what an invasion looks like.

I read news on jp daily due to my work, my impression is that the japanese are getting BOXED IN
Declining working age, reserves, inequality rising, military concerns with america/china, natural disasters, young people becoming weak minded (less caring about work ethic)
there are many problems that I cannot imagine them solving

Foreigners should never be allowed to own homes in foreign country. Ever.
It only fucks with the market.

Why do Japanese and Western politicians think their immigration policies are sustainable?
Even South East Asia and Africa now have declining birthrates, so they will not export immigrants in the future.
So the only thing that can be done by immigration policy is to slow down economic decline
Countries with immigration will be in the worst situation in the future: economic decline and loss of cultural and ethnic unity.

They literally get paid to believe so. They know it's only GDP go up, citizen suffer. They don't care, it's good for their short term pension and who cares about anyone else.
God forbid a population shrinks and rebuilds the way their economy works over decades and end up with more resources per citizen, no we must infinite growth and feed the richest man on top everything while everyone suffer...

>and end up with more resources per citizen
which also in the end would result in restoring the birth rate
I think the world needs to simply get used to dwindling birth rates and let it happen, but nobody wants to be the one where the bubble pops.

They cant ecven distinguish between tourists and expats. Of course they won't distinguish between Chinese billionaire investors and regular working immigrants. Things are looking grim.

Takeshi ain't gonna do shit. My great-granddad told me how in the 1950's that US GIs could openly call jap men as "Boy-san" while fucking their women and excluding them in clubs.
I used to respect nips when they made quality shit but now the chinks and gooks have surpassed them. They're a dead country and fuck them. And they won't do anything except just jerk off in the corner while Chad, Chang, Darius, and Ranjit fucks and breeds their women. Japan will be muttland.
