Japan’s Miracle Birth Town
October 06th, 2023 by G.
Their formula is some combination of material incentives along with a fair amount of just being supportive and doing a lot of little things to make it clear that the town values having children.
However, from the examples in the article, I wonder how much of the town’s success is from cherry-picking families from their surrounding area?

Leaving aside this news report, which I presume is as wrong as all mass media items are; it may be that while no secular society has yet achieved above replacement fertility rates; it is possible that Japan might be an exception IF the government really wanted it.
The Japanese seem to be psychologically very distinctive compared with other races.
For example, in WWII; their military was able widely to impose a no surrender/ fight to the last man code, which has proved almost impossible to impose on other militaries (setting aside the question of whether it is a bad idea anyway).
If the Japanese have not changed too much in the past three/four generations, perhaps they *might* also obey a strong social ethic of increased fertility?
On the other hand Japan is no longer ruled by a sacred Emperor, but instead by a secular administration; which is (presumably, by its behaviour) kept in line by the occupying army from the USA.
I greatly doubt whether *any* Globalist/ Western-controlled nation would be allowed to do anything genuinely effective* about increasing their fertility.
That is not what They want for us.
*I think the only genuinely effective increase in fertility would come after either the collapse of Western civilization and/or after a really serious revival in one of the pro-natalist religions, by which that religion became the most powerful social influence (theocracy of some kind).

I’m reminded of so many “inspirational” movies about educators who take down on their luck kids and help them achieve success in some area (advanced tests, improved grades, whatever)
Where if you pay attention, the educators in question were able to hand pick the students they worked with (recruiting the brightest kids from other classes, or kicking out all the troublemakers, or other things).
The message the movies claims to show is “anyone can succeed” but they don’t really show that. At best, they show there are many more diamonds in the rough than we realize, and those diamonds can shine if given a chance (but also that there is a large amount who cannot or will not hack it no matter what you do for them).
