A Voice for Men:Your house is on fire and you have 3 options before calling the firemen:
2. Run inside the house and wait
3. Not calling the firemen because you need time to make up your mind
It is not a tough choice, yet Japan’s birth rate is on fire and they are choosing a mix of options 2 and 3.
One of the nations with the brightest minds on earth is facing its
self inflicted extinction by making the dimmest of choices. The main
reasons for Japan to commit this paradox of slow economic-seppuku-by-
1. National Racism in the guise of Cultural Pride
Japan will not accept immigrants, not in the past, not now, not in
the future. Simply because they either stay Japanese or nothing. No way
around it, it is part of their culture to segregate the non Japanese.
Today, even if born and raised in Japan, the children of Korean parents
are not always issued Japanese citizenship and usually referred as Zainichi, not
as Japanese.
Japan has a long history of repatriating Zainichi Koreans
found to be “Incompatible with Japanese culture.”. Logic does not matter
as much as the pride of being one of the very few genetically and
culturally pure Japanese parents because Japan would rather isolate
itself than accepting reproductive defeat. This collective denial
reached sci-fi levels in recent years when Tsukuba University showed the media their powered exo-suits for caretakers,
who are expected to be overwhelmed in the near future with the needs of
the disproportionately elderly population. In other words, instead of
even thinking of the possibility of immigration, the Japanese would
rather brace themselves to take care of the geriatric tsunami they
themselves are creating.
2. Children of Karoshi
Japan has long had a tradition called Karoshi:
males working themselves to death to serve a master. Things did not
improve after Japan’s acceptance of defeat after WW2. It was either
suicide to avoid shame or accepting defeat and a lifetime of shame.
Japan chose the admission of defeat and national shame simply because
the delusional tradition of the disposable warrior does not extend to
the untrained, unbrainwashed population. The masterless Japanese nation
and its admission of defeat was a collective cross-generational searing
trauma inflicted upon an already post-apocalyptic culture. This national
psychological defeat created an unbearable void to be filled
desperately with something else, something where the lost pride could be
found, something else but suicide which, paradoxically, ended up being
re-purposed slower suicide in the form of overwork. In a stark
demonstration of overcompensation mixed with a misplaced need for a
sense of worth, the post war generations of men in their early 30′s and
40′s, rebuilding their atomized national pride, would work shifts of 12,
14 or even 16 hours for weeks, months or even years, slowly building
the tradition of using as few vacation days or none at all to give their
co-workers and superiors the clear message of compulsory collective
sacrifice-dedication.
The result a few decades later?
A widespread social anomaly affecting multitudes of otherwise healthy
men without a family history of disease, dying of stroke, heart attack,
chronic fatigue or a combination of the 3. The phenomenon was fittingly
baptized “Karoshi”.
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has been tracking
this phenomenon since 1969 and over the years things are not improving:
in 2007: 189 workers died, many from strokes or heart attacks, and
about 208 became ill due to overwork. Those who die are not
surprisingly, mostly male. Karoshi in and of itself may seem trivial as
more than 189 people die on road accidents every year but if we consider
the impact of those who commit suicide during formative years, the
overall heavily reduced lifespan of males in management, the absent
fathers due to either work or work related death, the problem is clearly
not trivial at all for those affected by it from birth and the
resulting incomplete and dysfunctional social structures with missing
family members. This has created a social phenomenon with the more
recent generations of males who tend to despise the traditional
obligation of males slowly working themselves to death and have instead,
embraced more herbivore lifestyles that not surprisingly, those
lifestyles go directly against the fundamentals of the older
generations: older gen chose academic excellence and sacrifice? then
newer gen chooses little or no school. Older gen chose competitive high
stress high karoshi-risk management jobs? Then newer gen chooses low
wage unambitious low stress jobs. Older gen chose family and multiple
responsibilities? Then newer gen chooses as few responsibilities and no
family. That last choice is crucial to Japan’s future demographics: No
family.
Many of those now young “herbivore” (or “grasseater”) men
may or may not realize they are the byproduct of growing up in a
fatherless household-culture, yet, the crucial point is that the new
generation is unlikely to marry and reproduce. Despite the herbivore
movement, Karoshi is still alive and actively killing men to this day,
conveniently, it is never a surprise that the male aspect of Karoshi is
never brought up by feminists. Why would they even mention the male
primary victims of their own death if they want to take that credit
without dying at all? Dead disposable men are a banality when compared
with the injustice of not “empowering” women for “progress” in the
workplace.
3. Feminism by western proxy
3. Feminism by western proxy
The analogy of the house on fire is perfect to describe what is
happening to Japan, while the house is burning, the feminists want to
sit down and “empower” women at the work place which is akin to sitting
down and voting to decide what to do with the fire instead of just
throwing water at it. At least that is what Lillian Cunningham at the Washington post blindly and unapologetically proposes. The nuggets of fools’ gold in said article do not come from Cunningham only but also from Japanese feminists such as Kuniko Inoguchi (Japan’s former gender minister) who is quoted as saying the following,
“In this country [Japan], we have never had a real radical feminist
movement like many countries have, lacking that, I think we have not
been able to make a dramatic change in mindset.”
Inoguchi not only proposes radicalism but also developed a gender
target to be imposed upon Japanese corporations to place women in 30% of
their senior manager positions (not unlike the gender quotas to be
imposed in the European Union). Let that sink in: the best solution for a
looming demographic collapse is to radicalize and “empower” women for
“gender progress” instead of asking them to get pregnant. Statistics
show the higher the level of education the woman has, the fewer the
children she will have. Consequently, enforcing gender quotas and using
feminist pseudo-logic will only keep women at school then work and lower
the birth rate. No need to sugar coat it: Cunningham and Inoguchi are
just playing stupid because if they plan on keeping women mostly at
school and work, the result will be they just won’t become mothers.
Cunningham even defeats her own argument in her own article with the
following quote:
“Right now, however, [Japanese] women don’t seem to be very empowered
in the bedroom or the boardroom. The average Japanese woman has 1.3
children, one of the lowest numbers across the globe. She is also far
less likely than her male counterparts to work full time. According to
Goldman Sachs’s research, 70 percent of Japanese women quit their jobs
after having a child.”
Women lack “empowerment” but quit 70 percent of the time? That is
cartoon-like feminist pseudo-logic trying to ask for both having the
cake and eating it (or rather have the cake of children and eat the cake
of work in a state of desperate demographic emergency) which makes no
sense. Cunningham conveniently, as most feminists do, cherry picks a
favorable number to whine about (70% pregnant women leaving their jobs
for not being “empowered enough”) and downplays the inconvenient ones
(1.3 children per woman) the number of pregnant women is abysmally low
but she conveniently focuses on the whining aspects of lacking
empowerment by that magical 70%. Unlike Cunningham, let’s focus on the
inconvenient productive aspects of that number. 70% is a gigantic
majority to accommodate. How about the lost productivity every time a
woman takes a job away from a productive male or female just to get
pregnant the first or second year on the job? How about the places that
woman took away from higher education for a degree she will not use? No,
Cunningham knows the cartoon-like lie she is trying to sell, she is an
excellent hypocrite and is just playing the part, Cunningham understands
that women taxing the system with fake childish ambitions for a degree
they will discard as soon as they have their first child is not too
different from the scene in Disney’s “Lilo and Stitch” where a little
girl forces an adult ready to pay at the counter to give her the money
only to put it back on the counter and take credit for “paying”. Their
demands make as much sense as a fairy tale where the castle is on fire
and the princess in the tower but wants a new dress or she won’t come
down and marry. Is it so difficult for the princess to realize that if
she does not save herself no one will marry her corpse? Even a fairy
tale princess would realize, no one is that stupid.
Why then, does Cunningham keep talking if she is aware of her verbal string of absurdities?
That is why it is so important to read in between their lines: Gender
ideologues like Cunningham and Inoguchi are not as asinine as they
seem, rather, as Mykeru defines them in his “Creepy Clowns”
video analysis: “They are like jackals that roll on carrion for
camouflage. In reality, they are predators that want to roll on a real
victim to pass as something else.” Cunningham and Inoguchi clearly
understand the issue at hand but as opportunistic predators, they really
do not care about helping the authentic victim, that is, the comatose
Japanese birth rate. Not at all. What they see is an opportunity to hold
a victim ransom and make self aggrandizing demands.
Think about it: they understand Japan needs women to get pregnant but
since they do not control Japanese women and their reproduction, they
declare themselves glorified self-appointed imaginary representatives of
all females and ask for a gender quota ransom. Is akin them wearing
white t-shirts with a bright pink message saying “We can reproduce but
you can’t. Pay us or we will kill Japan’s future. Note: We offer no
guarantee. Donate now.” They claim they may have the solution but first
you have to pay the ransom but even if you do, it may be too late
because the patriarchy will get in the way of all the things they do not
intend to do anyways. It is dishonesty and plausible deniability at an
international level through the sponsorship of feminist intellectual
dishonesty, it is all about not promising anything but asking for as
much as possible. When the Japanese demographic-economic collapse takes
place, they will just blame something the evil men did that prevented
the poor women from achieving full potential, while feminists like
Cunningham et. al. laugh from their retirement mansions in the Bahamas
(bought with all the money they made out of glorified feminist
hypocrisy).
Feminists like Cunningham and Inoguchi tend to find a movement,
pretend they want to fix a problem by demanding the moon & the
stars, make the problem worse, and then get a great deal of personal
gain along the way. Their approach is dishonest but effective; it is
like knowing a toddler has gone missing, and you already saw the body
floating in the water but instead of telling the rescue team what you
saw, you join them, lead them away from the corpse and portray yourself
as a heroine for the cause for maximum camera time quite “luckily.”
In this case, it is Japanese demographic carrion offered to feathered feminists.
