More seriously, just today there has been some suggestion of lowering university debt repayments for people with children. Some Japanese people on twitter are displaying real anger complaining it's discriminatory towards people without children and backward for placing expectations on women to give birth.
What else can you do but divide society along political lines like it is in the US and let the side that wants to die out do as they wish. Why should the people who want to have a sustainable society so their kids aren't forced to flee a collapsing nation have to include those who are aggrieved by that?
To understand the situation you have to come here and see it for yourselves. Meet guys who never outgrew their high school friendship group and are still spending the same amount of time on video games at 30 as when they were 20, while complaining online that the government is to blame for their wages not going up. Listen to the young women blather on about their career aspirations but point-blank say they don't give a shit about other people and that they just want money for luxuries and status. Work next to the 60-year old guy who coasted along in life, never saw the need for kids and doesn't see any irony in being addicted to 18-year old prostitutes. These people beyond the influence of traditional government levers are not fringe groups!
I can only imagine how insane things are in Korea... probably get murdered for suggesting people spend more on family and less on Louis Vuitton.
