Fun fact, those feral hogs are descendants of Hernando De Soto’s hogs, which escaped from his expedition as it traveled around the Mississippi river valley civilization before accidentally (and a bit intentionally) killing it with the cocktail of plagues his men carried. The next explorer to the region was a century later and by then the entire civilization was gone, so we know very little about them.

Intentional destruction of religion and culture is genocide

That’s actually what’s happening, I’ve heard tons of stories of foreign English teachers who think the Japanese countryside is romantic and bought old countryside manors that otherwise would just get demolished since those rural populations are rapidly dwindling and houses in these towns are cheap. They fix them up and keep them traditional since that’s the whole point of moving to the countryside and buying an old Japanese house. Edit: I googled and found a story about another couple doing this: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/japanese-country-real-estate/index.html

It’s not as much about increasing the birthrate, but increasing the number of specialized workers within Japan who pay taxes that support things like National Health Insurance, which will be increasingly burdened by Japan’s aging population.

Although, even in Japan’s worst case scenario where rates had to hike up to support all the old people with the smaller younger working generation, I can’t imagine that their healthcare taxes would be even close to America’s regular healthcare costs. I paid $9/month for my first year in Japan since it’s based on your previous year’s salary, which was $0 in Japan before I moved there. The 2nd year, after pulling in about $30k in a year, was about $90 per month, still pretty affordable considering rent prices were also cheaper than what I was used to in the US.
