    Shinzo Abe sucked and was a piece of shit for a ton of reasons, but if you’re running a country with declining, non-replacement birth rates, being concerned about it isn’t “very fascist.”

        The CPC isn’t fascist, has looked into various methods of encouraging higher birth rates, while PRC has low immigration levels. I hate that you’re making me defendjapan-cool here, but on its own trying to bolster birth rates, even with minimal immigration, doesn’t make a country fascist.
