Japan would rather have robots nurse its elderly, and self-driven lorries transport its goods than allow refugees to help ease the nation’s ballooning labor crisis.
Japan is drowning in a surplus of jobs, and while that may sound like the pinnacle of capitalist aspirations, it’s actually a huge economic problem. Put another way: bleak demographics have saddled Japan with its worst labor shortage in decades. The unemployment rate may be joyously low at 2.8%, but the dwindling workforce chokes growth and forces businesses to take desperate moves, like resorting to “digging robots” at construction sites, and letting overtime go unpaid.
With no one left to build their roads, harvest their food, or empty their hospital bedpans, Japan needs workers, and it needs them now. At the end of May, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare announced that vacancies exceed 1.48 jobs for every applicant. The ratio is 2:1 in Tokyo, and 3 or even 4:1 in the pinched nursing and construction sectors. The bite is only set to get worse as the current workforce grays and the birth rate continues to decline.
Yet Japan has willfully ignored the obvious solution already sitting on its doorstep: hiring asylum seekers.
Despite what appears to be an obvious win-win, Japan accepts fewer asylum seekers than almost any other developed country. Last year, just 28 out of 10,901 asylum applicants—or 0.26%—were successful, one more than the previous year. UN chief António Guterres at one point called for an overhaul of Japan’s system, calling it “too rigid, and too restrictive.” If humanitarian grounds alone were not cause enough to move Japan to act, financial imperatives should make the choice an easy one.
How do we force Japan into taking inn more refugees? Multiculturalism makes a country stronger
You never will. Japan is a country of xenophobes who treat people not like them as aberrations that will bring ruin to the country. My mom was half and they still treated her like garbage.

Tell me something, /pol/
why do neo nazis and white supremacists worship scandinavians (blond, blue eyed people) when the entirety of the Nazi leadership were brown eyed, black haired manlets?
>>133216699
Why do neo-nazi's always look like white trash, while real nazi's looked like proper humans.
>>133216699
The same reason every other race worships Aryans.

Came here expecting to find philosophical discourse on government and economics. Instead I find myself in a timewarp, amongst a bunch of slack jawed rednecks sharing tired KKK memes and calling each other shills.
Good grief.

But OP you're being a shill right now by making a such a provocative without offering any valid discourse. This is a slide thread. Don't post slide thread.
Sup fellow alt-righters. After being plugged in to beta-land for too long, I have finally awoken and taken the red pill thanks to the likes of Sargon of Akkad and Thunderf00t. How should we proceed in redpilling all of the normies so we can defeat the cancer that is the left once and for all?

This man was actually innocent. He doesn't deserve to be in jail. Our government has wrongfully imprisoned him because he knew too much and was exposing them for the corrupt kikes that they are.

I work on the tech industry, and I see posts/talks like on the image on a daily basis. The guy who posted it (a nu-male) has a startup, am I going insane by telling him that this is a terrible business practice to focus on gender balance instead of hiring people based on talent, qualifications, skill, and experience? How screwed are we if this kind of people are creating business? Although to be honest I doubt he will do anything but fail, with such a terrible employment policy. Thoughts?

Why do you want him to succeed?
I work in planning. I'm told that we have a controversial application on the way for a gypsy and caravan site. I email my team to give a heads up. Later told the word gypsy is almost as as bad as the N word.
What happens next?

Ignore them and continue to refer to them as Gypsies.
It's actually what they are.
This is gaslighting, a form of abuse.
They tell you you have no culture then when you wave the red ensign they call you a nazi. Everything pro-canadaian is bad and everything that involves giving everything away to everyone who isn't canadian is good.
I fucking hate it here.

my buddy died of a fentanyl overdose last week. lucky bastard. So lucky to have been born to live in poverty in canada with his teeth rotting out, being spit on by chinese, told he had white privilege. At least now he is free.

According to the UN definitions, the people who did this, they belong in court for genocide. They made the conditions so we wouldn't breed, they supressed us, reduced our quality of life now they are replacing us, saying it is because we don't breed enough.
The people responsible deserve a prison cell for the rest of eternity

Where does /pol/ get its news and what's /pol/'s view on wall street journal?

WSJ is too neocon. They were very pro-Iraq war, for example. You cannot trust them on foreign policy articles.
