Ted Cruz brings the fire to Fang Fang and AOC. He must be learning from Trump.

You're right. Japan is 7th, not first. I should have written ONE of the highest. Also, you are the one using Japan, Brazil and Russia as examples of what "traditional" societies are. They are not examples of that at all.
If you want a truly traditional society you'd have to go to small villages in the Middle East and Europe to get a sense of what "traditional" life is. I'm not talking about backward super religious ones. I'm talking small/medium sized communities who value what their ancestors valued.
Japan has no gun ownership, almost impossible to get a gun unless you are of course in a criminal org or you are government. They are a uniform nation with uniform ideas, for the most part. I loved Japan, but it's still not the ideal in my opinion. They have an ageing population with their youth having little interest in marriage and children. You're only pointing to the ideals. Anyone can do that to any country. Hell, I can even do that with Iran as I've been there and know their citizenry is incredibly intelligent, thoughtful and generally don't like the government. People in Japan do not commit suicide "cause there is probably no other way to die". That is probably one of the dumbest comments I've ever read. They have a high rate because their work life balance is brutal, loneliness is rampant and companionship is hard to find. I've travelled the world extensively, I am not basing my ideas of "stereotypes" lol. It's just the reality for many places.
We are not overpopulated. Governments have allowed corporations to kill small and medium sized businesses causing populations to move into larger and larger cities in order to work. What do you think covid has done? The more people live in smaller areas, the more polluted those areas become.
Russia I won't even bother going into. You're only pointing to the good things SINCE the Soviet collapse. You're pointing to petty crime lowering. That's literally happened everywhere across the planet since the inception of free market capitalism. Their institutional corruption makes even ours look like child's play.
Brazil is literally not even worth talking about. A messed up country almost entirely.
They are not 7th, they are 30th. 30th is not that high, that is not even cracking the top 25.
Its hard for me to find the study now because the source I remember having it has since deleted it, must be because its inconvenient for the progressive narrative... But I read that 80% of Japanese singles were interested in marriage compared to about 50% of single Americans.
As I mentioned, the desire is there, Japan is simply still in the process of figuring out the best way to matchmake for their fairly shy and reserved population.
You keep pointing to all the problems with Japanese society, but what would the US or certain European countries look like if it were to be scrutinized with the same lens that you are scrutinizing Japan and Russia? We would be characterizing the US as a crime infested shithole with cities overrun with homeless shitting in the streets and shooting up heroin, with 70,000 dead every year because of it, a fertility rate that is plummeting, men and women have a borderline hostile relationship with one another now, the country is falling into authoritarianism under COVID and on the brink of civil war due to political tensions.
There is a reason why I feel like "MAGA" is a good slogan, and "KAG" is stupid. I do not look around and see a great society, I see a society completely falling apart and on the brink of civil war. Don't get me wrong, I believe the progressives are responsible for all of it. But I find a lot of American conservatives' tendency to excessively glorify the US to be delusional. We may have once been the greatest and most free country on Earth, but we are definitely not anymore. The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw America today. I support the MAGA movement because I am disgusted by how far this country has fallen from grace and I would like to see it returned to its former glory. But we are not going to accomplish that by delusionally pretending that we are still the greatest country on Earth. Its time we start learning lessons from other countries which have done better in various areas of society. Japan has some problems but they have nowhere near the same political and gendered hostilities that we do nor the same levels of crime and homelessness. That alone, is a big reason to look to the example they have set and try to follow it.
Japan is 7th in the OECD. 30th in a world of 200+ countries of which most are in the shitter is terrible. You seem to have a hard time understand context.
Japan is completely falling apart and on the brink of self destruction. They haven't faced this type of crisis, ever. So you're wrong. You seem to have an obsession with Japan.
The authoritarianism you speak of, is literally daily life in Japan. The things that bother you about what the government is doing in the West is how the Japanese live in general. The government controls everything. This is the problem with arguing with people who have no idea what they are talking about lol.
Your examples are terrible and have no similarity to traditional culture. And the fact that you think legalized prostitution is a good thing cause men who need to bust a nut in a whore cause they can't help it otherwise while married is ridiculous and shows where your morals lie.
Prostitution is mostly for unmarried men. Young unmarried men with no sexual outlet pose a crime threat to society and in general are dangerous. in terms of married men it is simply damage control. The damage has already happened but we can mitigate it that way instead of ruining a second marriage by having him try and seduce another married person.
The Japanese government is pretty hands off. They didn’t have any restrictions under COVID, they have no government surveillance program or internet censorship. They have no vaccine mandates even for public school kids.
Japan is not even close to falling apart which is why I see that you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
