Yea you right. You can't really blame them for wanting to keep the Japanese culture strictly Japanese though.Their only hope would be if they weren't also mired in an irreparable demographic crisisWhich makes their political crisis even worse because there's no political will of a nascent generation waiting in the wings. Even if they wanted to become an industrial titan again, I don't think they even have the political will or ability to do it. It's just a country we have to watch die in slow motion.

Japan is way stronger into tradition than we are in part cause we do allow immigration on a mass scale.
America won’t fall into the same trap. It will look different but we also could avoid it altogether.

That's a great point. Japan doesn't add any new blood to the country.
We also favor younger and cheaper talent rather than keeping older workers when cuts need to be made.
I have a friend who is half Japanese, and has just stalled and stagnated his whole life, post high school, his Mom always really babied him, and now, he has a very very basic local degree, and lives at home with his Mom, he's 34/35. No job prospects. No work ethic. Not that the two are entirely related, but the Japanese angle was interesting.

A lot of this is mental illness. Depression. Anxiety. Agoraphobia etc. a lot of smart people have depression and it kills your motivation, plus being introverted is devastating in a job market where knowing the right people is huge into getting the right jobs. The word networking makes my skin crawl. I’m headed down a good career path now, but I was lost for a long time.

A lot to love about Japan and it's people, such as their collectivist nature, but when that's contributing to their down fall... 
A lot of posts regarding us heading in the same direction, and although I agree in a sense, I doubt our affected population will quietly, and peacefully accept their fate like the Japanese. Folks will either be turning to drugs, or (violent) protests as the situation further deteriorates. Hell, the current (docile) state of Japan may be a best case scenario for us

Self-destructive and weird perspectives.
I bet a lot of them will end up homeless if their helicopter parents don't rush in to save them, as they usually do.
A very underestimated quote should have told
America to fukk off at the Plaza accord. Told them we are not touching the currency and we are not pouring more gasoline on the burning fire. They have never recovered from the spiral. Never! To be honest, dont think they ever can as well!
The same reason when America started talking about currency depreciation a decade ago with China was like oh really!
