Japan is in many respects essentially a Western nation which suffers the same demographic challenge that Mark Steyn has so accurately described for Western Europe and America but Japan has not subscribed to the Ponzi scheme of admitting immigrants. Instead Japan is betting its future on technology, especially robotics, in the hope that they can preserve their homogenous society and maintain and grow their standard of living.

Because I believe that diversity is not our strength but our Achilles' heel, my money is on Japan. It might be the only nation to survive and prosper.

The Japanese have not abandoned their identity, nor their legitimate pride in their own civilization & culture. This preserves their actual "diverse" existence as a unique nation. The Left, in pursuit of monolithic new world orders has used what they call "diversity," as a battering ram to destroy what is left of human diversity & the freedom of any people to preserve their own. (See Diversity In Context.)

Properly understood, what is babbled about as "diversity," is a war on all that makes any people unique. Conservatives need to recognize the hideous intolerance for all that any nation once held sacred, that is behind the babble.

Agree 100%. Thank goodness for them they are an island nation.

Britain has the same advantage but they are in the process of throwing it away.

UnfortunTely I think they’ll be overrun by the commie Chinese before the century is out identity or no they don’t have the numbers or population growth... Much like the rest of the west demographics will be their downfall.

” Because I believe that diversity is not our strength but our Achilles’ heel, my money is on Japan. It might be the only nation to survive and prosper.”

That’s 20th century thinking, nat.

The nation that will survive and prosper is India. By 2030, half the population in China will be 50-years of age or older. By that same date, half the population of India will be 30-years of age or younger. The stupid ChiComm apes have aborted their future. Private equity firms have been fleeing China in droves since 2011. India will be the military and economic powerhouse in Asia in the 21st century. Even today, right now, broadband companies cannot keep up with demand in India.

Cheers, Nat.

That’s 20th century thinking,

It's funny you would say that when I had made the specific points:

Japan has not subscribed to the Ponzi scheme of admitting immigrants. Instead Japan is betting its future on technology, especially robotics, in the hope that they can preserve their homogenous society and maintain and grow their standard of living

In 1906 the British launched Dreadnought and in afternoon rendered every ship on every ocean in the world obsolete.

In 1945 United States dropped a bomb on Hiroshima which instantly made mass armies vulnerable.

In 1958 the Russians launched Sputnik which revolutionized everything from communications to warfare.

The computer chip has produced smart phones, smart televisions and smart automobiles not to mention robots which make production lines of the kind pioneered by Henry Ford not obsolete but virtually unthinkable.

If in the wake of these technological advances you think that the power and wealth of the country resides in its masses rather than in its technology, you are free to do so, but to accuse others of living in the twentieth century is, at best, amusing. What is not amusing is the failure to understand that masses such as exist in China and in India are not assets but huge liabilities.

And all the more of a liability when they are diverse as they are in India and were, for example, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
