Um I am an immigrant to Japan as well. My husband is a Japanese citizen... and I can tell you thats some racist bullshit. And ummmm... I dont think you understand why Japans quality of life is so good. Its largely due to sacrifices made by the Japanese people due to the lack of population and crippling debt affecting this country and an uncaring political elite. And well, you risk your culture and your future regardless...
So, it has absolutely nothing to do with automation and how productivity per work-hour has increased with it? I wouldn't romanticize the population like that.
Also, while Japans debt problem is incredibly troubling it is not insurmountable.
