Unfortunately, a dating app will make no difference, as the problem is psychological and cultural. Japan needs to take a hard look at themselves in a mirror and analyze what cultural mores they engage in that cause men and women to not want to be in relationships, and to not want children even when in one. Japan's work culture is destructive, no one has time to have a family, or even a marriage. Japan's egalitarian expectations of both genders at work and in education, like feminism here in the west, turn women into pseudo men, and simply put- men don't have children. Japanese culture is valuing academic and business achievement above family, and the result is a lack of children.
It's been the same for 50 years. Why is not now a problem?
Japanese culture is valuing academic and business achievement above family
I wouldn't say this. Japan has a strong family culture and has more three generation households than you probably imagine. Rural Japan and Urban Japan are two veryvery different things.
It is, like it is every where else, simply about the money. The men will work the long hours if you make the pay package acceptable. They're not doing this because business everywhere has been monopolized. This hurts the consumer market but it DESTROYS the labor market.
There's no labor mobility, no easy chance to change companies, no big raises used to tempt workers from one business to another. It ices the whole labor market out and forces people to accept lower wages for work than they otherwise would.
They've pushed this to the absolute limit, and so now you have people who would rather do nothing all day, then trade their labor for a pittance.
Then you can post utterly bullshit articles all day about the "birth rate problem" and how many "adult diapers japan buys!" Or now, the "government created a dating app it's so desperate!" It's a dumb rigged game with a fake embarrassment ritual designed to extract the last bit of cash from the empire while keeping everyone too depressed to do anything about it.
It's been the same for 50 years. Why is not now a problem?
Generational decay. People raised in the old world, before everything was broken, retain their cultural behaviors, but subsequent generations internalize the new rules and things go wrong. 50-60 years for cultural changes to show their full effects is normal.
Rural Japan and Urban Japan are two very very different things.
Of course, but their birthrate is catastrophic nonetheless.
It's a dumb rigged game with a fake embarrassment ritual designed to extract the last bit of cash from the empire while keeping everyone too depressed to do anything about it.
Locally.. create programs that encourage women to stay out of the work force, and that make various short term loan facilities available to citizens attempting to start small family businesses.
Globally.. destroy the wall street/isreal/china alliance.
Your first point cannot be achieved until the second point is addressed. It's no longer feasible for women to be stay-at-home housewives, unless their husbands have very high-paying jobs. The middle class here in Japan is taxed to death and worked to death.
Do what our politicians require for the United States. Allow felons, criminals, countries emptying out their prisons and mental heath institutions into out nation so they can rape our children, daughters, sisters, mothers and grand mothers Prove me wrong
Every Country for the most part naturally organizes itself in a Pyramid structure. Including Multi-Cultural ones That is something more or less inherent to organized human society. There is always some form of Elite. And there’s always someone at the top.
The real problem is the caustic family court systems that have been put into place to purposely cause rift in families by making it extremely biased towards women. This is causing men to drop out of the society as they hear dread stories of how badly people around them got shafted.
On top of this, the pop culture is slowly being made more and more toxic - a lot of things similar to what happened in 60s and 70s in the west, while at the same time a constant barrage of "how destructive Japanese culture is".
Japanese culture is one of the most resilient to Western propaganda for a very long time, but its slowly succumbing to the same tricks played against us in the past.
I will join in and say this "solution" is kind of a joke. The root causes for the declining birth rate are mainly economic. The cultural rot is easier to reverse if the economic barriers preventing people from starting families are removed.
The same is true here in the US, but feminism, destruction of the nuclear family, religion, masculinity... plus the communist takeover of education, academia, media, entertainment, etc. is going to take a lot longer to fix... if it can be fixed.
There is also a legal aspect in the US due to no-fault divorce, turning marriage into a suckers game that men automatically lose. The only way to win that completely rigged game is not to play. Obviously, all of that also needs to change.
(a rock-solid pre-nuptual agreement might be a fix for the legal problems, but most women won't sign one).
"a rock-solid pre-nuptual agreement might be a fix for the legal problems, but most women won't sign one"
Even thats not a guarantee since some judges will just throw it away the moment the woman says she signed it "under duress." Some of these judges view a prenup like toilet paper.
"Government mandated dating: The drop in birth rates is the "gravest crisis our country faces," said Japan's Kishida, as the Japanese government launches new measures to boost the birth rate.
Tokyo has launched a dating app in a bid set to promote marriage and combat Japan's declining birthrate. The app aims to provide a secure platform for singles looking to tie the knot, with a thorough registration process requiring proof of single status and a commitment to marriage.
Sharing Elon Musk's point of view, Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has called the drop in birth rates the "gravest crisis our country faces" and has unveiled a range of measures to support child-bearing households.
The government has allocated a substantial amount of money to promote marriages through apps and other projects.
To sign up for the app, users will need to provide detailed personal information, including height, education, occupation, and even a tax certificate to verify their annual salary. The government's involvement is expected to instill a sense of security and encourage hesitant individuals to take the first step in finding a partner.
The initiative comes as Japan faces a critical situation, with births falling for the eighth consecutive year and the population expected to decline by 30% by 2070. Tokyo, in particular, has the highest unmarried rates for 50-year-olds in the country, with 32% of men and 24% of women remaining single.
With the launch of this government-backed dating app, Tokyo hopes to provide the necessary "gentle push" for the 70% of people who desire marriage but have been hesitant to actively seek a partner."
A borderline psychotic work culture is probably a big factor, even if you can find a spouse you'll never have time for them.
Bosses expect you to go out drinking with them after work is over, often taking up hours of someones time. There is no time to do anything but sleep when you get home. There is a rather famous case where a Japanese man refused to do the 'mandatory socializing' after work and his job tried to actively punish him for it calling him anti-social, and a japanese court had to step in.
The whole "let's go drinking after work" has faded considerably since the bubble years here in Japan, but it's taken a lingering toll on society. The generation who were the children whose fathers ignored them for the sake of their companies grew up under unhappy parents. To many Japanese, they'd rather immerse themselves in their hobbies.
Another cultural difference is that for an American guy, if he wants pussy, he's gotta go out there and win it. Become assertive, decisive, and romantic. Japan depended on the omiai system of arranged marriage for so long that men never learned how to be romantic. To go out, find a girl on your own, and get married. They had marriages handed to them for far too long and now that arranged marriages have decreased significantly, they are helpless. I've had so many Japanese women tell me that their husbands have never once bought them flowers, nothing special for their birthday, and not even a simple "I love you" on Valentine's Day. Japanese men have told me the same, unabashedly. (And Japan managed to really screw up Valentine's Day as well, making it an impersonal day for women to give chocolate to male coworkers out of obligation.)
And, of course, the central banking system this world is enslaved to ensures that it's no longer possible for a man to learn a trade, have a housewife, have several kids, and provide a good life for them. It's become infeasible to have children for so many. It's been a big shock to me now that our daughter is in high school. The equivalent of a thousand dollars for her school uniform (despite the lack of diamond sequins or anything else that would demand such a price), PE uniforms, $300 worth of textbooks, $450 for a lousy Chromebook computer, $300 per month just to pay for the school, and more. I had no idea it would be so expensive, so we've had to dip into savings. High school is considered a privilege since mandatory education ends at junior high. Then of course there is the whole industry set up around profiting from a child's education. We avoid putting our kid in cram school but there are still other expenses we have to pay because just attending school alone is somehow not enough. It's insane. So, there are many married couples who are childless, like my wife's younger sister.
So yeah, some "dating app" isn't going to cut it unless they make an effort to revamp Japan's society.
Kindergartens are for children whose mothers do not work. There are only two kindergrtens left in the small city I live in because everyone has working parents. My wife stayed home until our daughter was nearly 4. She was at the right age when she was craving friendship and even had an imaginary friend. My wife works at a nursery school and sees the 2 year old children who cry for their mamas every morning as they are dropped off. We made sure that this was not going to be the case with our girl.
That's for sure. Porn is destroying men's minds internationally, but it takes a particular toll on the minds of Japanese men. They're so spineless that I read an article somewhere which said that the porn industry in Japan is having a hard time even finding guys who will participate. They seem to have no problem recruiting young women, but the men are scarce.
Every child in Japan is, by default, already on "welfare." Three times a year, parents are paid 40,000 yen, coming to 120,000 yen per year until the child turns 16. However, much of that money gets spent on bullshit school expenses, such as PTA fees, after school tutoring programs ("cram school"), etc.
Nothing will change, unless/until all the errors of the last 104 years are reversed and permanently barred from happening again. The public's eyes are open. The marriage scam is exposed. 3 generations living through this fallacy, and you still think it can work? Pffffffttttt.
But, not to worry. It'll reverse soon enough. They're importing millions of skill-less, sub-70 IQ level morons, from 3rd world shitholes, who are more than happy to breed on your dime. As will their offspring. And their offspring.
Dunno who's going to pay for it though. Millionaires/Billionaires are already looking at bailing on the west now.
Japan's high average IQ didn't enable them to take FIVE MINUTES to investigate Pfizer' mile-long history of flagrant criminality and billions of dollars paid to the victims of their pharmaceuticals before they collectively FREAKED OUT and lined up to get injected with poison like hysterical ninnies because their damned TVs scared them about a boogeyman virus. I live in Japan and my wife and I do not know many people who did NOT get the Corona-chan injections.
There's an intersection ahead here that I am keeping my eye on.
A proposed solution that is obviously not going to solve the "problem" is a great way to say "we tried everything else - problem remains - we have to get more drastic."
In other words - a social engineering exercise to convince the public that we have no other choice than the choice they wanted us to arrive at.
What solution do they want us to arrive at?
Consider that Fertility rates are under attack worldwide. Through food - through the shot - through chemicals in xyz - through fear/disease (think Zika virus mosquitos).
So this "Problem" has been a long time coming.
And we know this "Problem" is a result of Bad Actors doing Bad Things.
Let us ask this question - if the world were to restore our Food, Health, Economy, Career, Social systems to not artificially reduce incentive for reproduction - or poison/create infertility in populations that would otherwise make babies....
Would this "Problem" correct itself naturally?
I suggest - Yes. It would. By nature, we like to make babies.
So if we would go back to "Good" via Natural Remedies -
Then what are these Artificial Remedies being offered doing?
Here's what I see - a System of creating babies outside of the Natural.
Imagine a world, where you Buy a baby - because you can't do it yourself anymore.
How far off are we, right now?
If the next suggestion after this Dating App from Japan ends up being, mandated baby making or "We'll make babies for you then"...
We'll know what direction the forces suggesting such remedies are headed...
This is funny. The government will spend tax payer dollars to create a dating app but they won't so much as address the underlying issue of an unhealthy work culture, the cost of living for 1 person and the cost of living to raise a family.
This makes me want to write an alternate history short story wherein marriage between anyone is arranged, but not by families, by the government...fucking nightmare...
It all comes down to a toxic money system. Why bring children into a debt slave money system. America and many other countries are facing the same problem.
Fix the money and most all problems ie low birth rates, corruption, etc...go away. Otherwise, we are headed to extinction.
Do what our politicians require for the United States. Allow felons, criminals, countries emptying out their prisons and mental heath institutions into out nation so they can rape our children, daughters, sisters, mothers and grand mothers Prove me wrong
How can they be so resistant to horniness? Anime has been encouraging it for decades lol. Anyways a better policy would be big tax breaks for every kid born.
It's the whole otaku culture that sucks people's minds into such overboard fantasies that the idea of real life partners will only disappoint them. Go to a comic con in America and you'll see plenty of guys with girlfriends, etc. Look at the characters in that movie Mallrats who are experts on comic books, yet they have girlfriends. Here in Japan, however, male and female otaku are wrapped up in their stupid, secluded bubbles. Look at the manga here that caters to men vs that which caters to women. Mutually exclusive interests. Women read BL manga about fags and men read manga about pinheaded, docile slaves. Male otaku want to go to those stupid maid cafes to hear girls with squeaky voices calling them "master", thus ensuring them that they will not find happiness as real women will disappoint their unrealistic expectations. Fujoshi (female otaku) are programmed to be attracted to gay-looking men with slender faces, V-shaped jawline--- overly-soft-spoken pussies exemplified in boy dance singing groups like BTS (my daughter calls them "LGBTS") and Johnny's Jr. They act so effeminate that it's disgusting. You'll see them spoon-feeding each other in 31 Ice Cream commercials even. It's sick.
I like watching Urusei Yatsura. It's funny and I get a kick out of it. But I do not relate to it whatsoever. That's the kind of stuff that kids can enjoy. Mention you like that show in Japan and that's no big deal. But there are so many other anime that are specifically targeted towards the lonely otaku type. Despite a few cool shows these days, I noticed how anime changed around they year 2000 when the whole "moeblob" genre was ushered in. The soft-spoken, vacuous, doe-eyed little girl trope prevails and mentioning that you are into that is a bit... weird.
I'm the proto anime nerd generation. When I graduated high school in '94, I did not know of any other anime geeks in my large high school. I alone wore an occasional anime shirt, for example. Then a year or two later, the whole Dragonball Z/Sailor Moon boom happened, and it became big among high schoolers. Suddenly it wasn't some weird niche anymore. We adopted the term "otaku" to just mean "anime fan," but that's not the right connotation. Mention "otaku" to Americans 30 years ago and we may think of Hayao Miyazaki. Mention "otaku" to Japanese 30 years ago and they may think of Tsutomu Miyazaki.
The "Densha Otoko" TV comedy/drama from the early 2000s sort of lessened the stigma and provided empathy for otaku. It's loosely based off a supposedly true story, the events of which unfolded on the 2ch anonymous forum (which 4chan is based off of). It was a story of an otaku who broke the mold and gained the courage to pursue a beautiful woman, a woman who appreciated that he wasn't a typical prick out to impress chicks.
When I first taught in Japan 24 years ago, admitting you're an anime fan would make people uncomfortable. Teachers were still that older generation of normies. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see teachers with some anime figures on their desks. It's changed, but there are certain anime/manga that ONLY cater to otaku types, and it only serves to ensnare them and prevent them from relating to anyone other than each other. You've perhaps seen that photo of those Japanese losers proudly embracing their anime "fuck pillows." That's what I am talking about.
Look at the randier anime and manga and it is obvious that the creators have zero experience with actual women. "Well, I've never actually touched a real woman's breast, but I've been to plenty of birthday parties, so I know what a baloon is like." Think of the "bags of sand" comment from the movie "40 Year Old Virgin." The stuff they are into only guarantees that women will be repulsed by them.
Yes I mean, I'm aware of neets and etc. I just kinda assume they would have been that way with or without anime. As a teen in the 00s in a small town I was a weirdo for liking it. I wasn't too vocal about it. But if someone asked I told them, hey, anime isn't just Pokemon kids show. They are for adults too. Like Family Guy or South Park, it's animated but not for kids. And for someone with a pervy sense of humor it was head and shoulders above western adult comedy animated or otherwise. Watching like, a harem show, usually with a virgin and clueless MC. I didn't watch that and be like "I am entitled to this IRL" I watched it and thought "I wouldn't be a bitch like that guy I'd bang them all the first time they showed a hint of wanting it". Now I watch with my wife. Idk. It could be that because Japan was so much different culturally than us that it affected more of them in different ways.
"Neets"? That's a new term for me. I think you are right that many such guys would be like that regardless, be it video games or whatever. I think it's a similar case with all of this trans degeneracy. The internet has provided a way for these people to feed off of each others' unhealthy obsessions and it exacerbates the situation. Instead of being isolated and perhaps have their peers keep them in line, they feed off each other's energy.
It used to be that the whole "hikikomori" thing was a solely Japanese phenomenon, but now this has proliferated in the USA as well. My theory is that the vaccines are causing these kids to have such great anxiety issues that they cannot deal with life, so they stop going to school. The internet situation probably amplifies this negative frequency. I can't pretend to have the answers and perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass. My sister married a guy who apparently refuses to work. I don't even ask about him when I talk to her, so as not to bring up any sore feelings. I'm a huge nerd myself, so I have friends who have never been married. I guess you could call them "incels," but they have never even bothered trying out matchmaking services like this topic about Elon Musk entails.
Unfortunately, a dating app will make no difference, as the problem is psychological and cultural.

I agree 100%.
So what would you propose as a solution?
Locally.. create programs that encourage women to stay out of the work force, and that make various short term loan facilities available to citizens attempting to start small family businesses.
Globally.. destroy the wall street/isreal/china alliance.
Your first point cannot be achieved until the second point is addressed. It's no longer feasible for women to be stay-at-home housewives, unless their husbands have very high-paying jobs. The middle class here in Japan is taxed to death and worked to death.
Guy was asked to provide a solution, and he delivered. Whether you like/agree with it or not is another matter
I wasn't arguing.
Quick interjection:
I heard that there is a member of GAW that lives in and knows Japan a lot.
Is that you?

So, socialist government programs?

This is why I am against triablism and single cultural countries.
Every organized country will automatically align in a pyramid structure.
Only the less than 1% will be innovators and influencers at the top. The rest will be administrator / labor types.
The admin / labor types tend to follow the "leaders" at the top.
So the majority will run around waiting for someone else to tell them what their identity should be.
What happens when millions are use to following outdated or bad traditions?
Every Country for the most part naturally organizes itself in a Pyramid structure. Including Multi-Cultural ones That is something more or less inherent to organized human society. There is always some form of Elite. And there’s always someone at the top.
I agree.
It's much easier to not follow the sheep when you live amoung people from all over the world.
Each unique culture has their own stories to tell.
The real problem is the caustic family court systems that have been put into place to purposely cause rift in families by making it extremely biased towards women. This is causing men to drop out of the society as they hear dread stories of how badly people around them got shafted.
On top of this, the pop culture is slowly being made more and more toxic - a lot of things similar to what happened in 60s and 70s in the west, while at the same time a constant barrage of "how destructive Japanese culture is".
Japanese culture is one of the most resilient to Western propaganda for a very long time, but its slowly succumbing to the same tricks played against us in the past.
Something tells me that a lot more is required to solve this problem than a simple smartphone app.
Maybe an improved economy and a near-complete overhaul on the work / business culture of Japan would be required...
I will join in and say this "solution" is kind of a joke. The root causes for the declining birth rate are mainly economic. The cultural rot is easier to reverse if the economic barriers preventing people from starting families are removed.

Wow, what a great idea! Sounds like something a society focused on family and folk would implement.
You poor, deluded sap.

Well when everyone wants abortions this is what you get lefties
abortions and porn
I’ve notice young men and women are not much for actual relationships leading to marriage and kids.
They seem to just want to “ hang out”.
And there seems to be an antagonistic view of the opposite sex. They are the enemy! All designed by the cabal.

Consider that Fertility rates are under attack worldwide. Through food - through the shot - through chemicals in xyz - through fear/disease (think Zika virus mosquitos).
So this "Problem" has been a long time coming.
And we know this "Problem" is a result of Bad Actors doing Bad Things.
Let us ask this question - if the world were to restore our Food, Health, Economy, Career, Social systems to not artificially reduce incentive for reproduction - or poison/create infertility in populations that would otherwise make babies....
Would this "Problem" correct itself naturally?
I suggest - Yes. It would. By nature, we like to make babies.
So if we would go back to "Good" via Natural Remedies -
Then what are these Artificial Remedies being offered doing?
Here's what I see - a System of creating babies outside of the Natural.
Imagine a world, where you Buy a baby - because you can't do it yourself anymore.
How far off are we, right now?
If the next suggestion after this Dating App from Japan ends up being, mandated baby making or "We'll make babies for you then"...
We'll know what direction the forces suggesting such remedies are headed...
This comes down to the idea.
How much sex can you force people to have. How can you determine who people are attracted to?
And let's not even mention white replacement actively happening in white, western countries.......
This is funny. The government will spend tax payer dollars to create a dating app but they won't so much as address the underlying issue of an unhealthy work culture, the cost of living for 1 person and the cost of living to raise a family.
Gene mutilation injection …
This makes me want to write an alternate history short story wherein marriage between anyone is arranged, but not by families, by the government...fucking nightmare...
ALCOHOL
It all comes down to a toxic money system. Why bring children into a debt slave money system. America and many other countries are facing the same problem.
Fix the money and most all problems ie low birth rates, corruption, etc...go away. Otherwise, we are headed to extinction.
The problem is FEMINISM. Women want the career and not the family. They have been told it’s more important to be in the Boardroom than in a bedroom!
What could possibly go wrong? /s
Do what our politicians require for the United States. Allow felons, criminals, countries emptying out their prisons and mental heath institutions into out nation so they can rape our children, daughters, sisters, mothers and grand mothers Prove me wrong
How can they be so resistant to horniness? Anime has been encouraging it for decades lol. Anyways a better policy would be big tax breaks for every kid born.
It's the whole otaku culture that sucks people's minds into such overboard fantasies that the idea of real life partners will only disappoint them. Go to a comic con in America and you'll see plenty of guys with girlfriends, etc. Look at the characters in that movie Mallrats who are experts on comic books, yet they have girlfriends. Here in Japan, however, male and female otaku are wrapped up in their stupid, secluded bubbles. Look at the manga here that caters to men vs that which caters to women. Mutually exclusive interests. Women read BL manga about fags and men read manga about pinheaded, docile slaves. Male otaku want to go to those stupid maid cafes to hear girls with squeaky voices calling them "master", thus ensuring them that they will not find happiness as real women will disappoint their unrealistic expectations. Fujoshi (female otaku) are programmed to be attracted to gay-looking men with slender faces, V-shaped jawline--- overly-soft-spoken pussies exemplified in boy dance singing groups like BTS (my daughter calls them "LGBTS") and Johnny's Jr. They act so effeminate that it's disgusting. You'll see them spoon-feeding each other in 31 Ice Cream commercials even. It's sick.
Well that's not the effect it had on my adolescent brain. But I suppose different people are wired differently.
I like watching Urusei Yatsura. It's funny and I get a kick out of it. But I do not relate to it whatsoever. That's the kind of stuff that kids can enjoy. Mention you like that show in Japan and that's no big deal. But there are so many other anime that are specifically targeted towards the lonely otaku type. Despite a few cool shows these days, I noticed how anime changed around they year 2000 when the whole "moeblob" genre was ushered in. The soft-spoken, vacuous, doe-eyed little girl trope prevails and mentioning that you are into that is a bit... weird.
I'm the proto anime nerd generation. When I graduated high school in '94, I did not know of any other anime geeks in my large high school. I alone wore an occasional anime shirt, for example. Then a year or two later, the whole Dragonball Z/Sailor Moon boom happened, and it became big among high schoolers. Suddenly it wasn't some weird niche anymore. We adopted the term "otaku" to just mean "anime fan," but that's not the right connotation. Mention "otaku" to Americans 30 years ago and we may think of Hayao Miyazaki. Mention "otaku" to Japanese 30 years ago and they may think of Tsutomu Miyazaki.
The "Densha Otoko" TV comedy/drama from the early 2000s sort of lessened the stigma and provided empathy for otaku. It's loosely based off a supposedly true story, the events of which unfolded on the 2ch anonymous forum (which 4chan is based off of). It was a story of an otaku who broke the mold and gained the courage to pursue a beautiful woman, a woman who appreciated that he wasn't a typical prick out to impress chicks.
When I first taught in Japan 24 years ago, admitting you're an anime fan would make people uncomfortable. Teachers were still that older generation of normies. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see teachers with some anime figures on their desks. It's changed, but there are certain anime/manga that ONLY cater to otaku types, and it only serves to ensnare them and prevent them from relating to anyone other than each other. You've perhaps seen that photo of those Japanese losers proudly embracing their anime "fuck pillows." That's what I am talking about.
Look at the randier anime and manga and it is obvious that the creators have zero experience with actual women. "Well, I've never actually touched a real woman's breast, but I've been to plenty of birthday parties, so I know what a baloon is like." Think of the "bags of sand" comment from the movie "40 Year Old Virgin." The stuff they are into only guarantees that women will be repulsed by them.
Yes I mean, I'm aware of neets and etc. I just kinda assume they would have been that way with or without anime. As a teen in the 00s in a small town I was a weirdo for liking it. I wasn't too vocal about it. But if someone asked I told them, hey, anime isn't just Pokemon kids show. They are for adults too. Like Family Guy or South Park, it's animated but not for kids. And for someone with a pervy sense of humor it was head and shoulders above western adult comedy animated or otherwise. Watching like, a harem show, usually with a virgin and clueless MC. I didn't watch that and be like "I am entitled to this IRL" I watched it and thought "I wouldn't be a bitch like that guy I'd bang them all the first time they showed a hint of wanting it". Now I watch with my wife. Idk. It could be that because Japan was so much different culturally than us that it affected more of them in different ways.
"Neets"? That's a new term for me. I think you are right that many such guys would be like that regardless, be it video games or whatever. I think it's a similar case with all of this trans degeneracy. The internet has provided a way for these people to feed off of each others' unhealthy obsessions and it exacerbates the situation. Instead of being isolated and perhaps have their peers keep them in line, they feed off each other's energy.
It used to be that the whole "hikikomori" thing was a solely Japanese phenomenon, but now this has proliferated in the USA as well. My theory is that the vaccines are causing these kids to have such great anxiety issues that they cannot deal with life, so they stop going to school. The internet situation probably amplifies this negative frequency. I can't pretend to have the answers and perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass. My sister married a guy who apparently refuses to work. I don't even ask about him when I talk to her, so as not to bring up any sore feelings. I'm a huge nerd myself, so I have friends who have never been married. I guess you could call them "incels," but they have never even bothered trying out matchmaking services like this topic about Elon Musk entails.
Not in Education, Employment, or Training. Basement dwellers. Idk where the term came from I picked it up on the chains years ago.
