Nowhere more than in Japan has that taken hold. It is....pathetic and sad.
They will put the dogs in elaborate clothes, fit for a child, and then push them around in baby buggies.
It makes the question of WHAT (actually who) is missing ALL THE MORE OBVIOUS AND PAINFUL.
I have seen it VERY many times, and it is foreboding and ominous.
The trend is so widespread that they have entire hot-springs devoted ONLY to dogs --I have been to these.
You know how some women like to meet as friends and they drag their husbands along, sort of like a "play date"..?
Much worse is the Japanese equivalent, where the married (and childless) humans come together, and in silence dejectedly watch the dogs play together.
It's pitiful. I LOOOOVE dogs, but they are OBVIOUSLY no substitute.
The dystopian book “Children of Men” featured the same thing, plus baptisms of kittens. The difference between the fiction and real life is that the people in the book did it because they could not have children - the human race was sterile. Those we’ve seen CHOSE it.
And like “The Marching Morons”, those with advanced degrees have perhaps 1 while those at the bottom had 2.5. Among my peers, two kids is a big family.Idiocracy, anyone?
In Germany, about 40% of the college educated women had no children - so they import Muslims hoping to turn them into liberal secularists. That’s a horror story unfolding today, a la “The Camp of Saints” or “Eurabia”.
