The only bright spot of Japan's demographic crisis is that it is going to wipe out most of the nationalist thugs.

The nationalist thugs? I haven't seen a bunch of Japanese people rioting against China or any other country. If you are worried about extreme nationalism, then look at China. There is a slogan in China that a patriotic act should not be considered a crime. This is why the destruction of Japanese cars, restaurants, etc by anti-Japan demonstrators is virtually permitted in that nation. Also an opinion survey conducted by a Chinese portal site showed that 80 percent of respondents supported the attack on the Japanese ambassador's car. It is alarming that many people praised the attack, calling the suspects "heroes". I must point out that the strong effects on Chinese people of the patriotic education by Chinese authorities are behind the radicalization of their extreme nationalistic/anti-Japanese sentiments. In the 1990s, the Chinese government under Jiang Zemin introduced new guidelines of “patriotic education” that included anti-Japanese lessons for primary, middle and high school students. They wanted to prevent a recurrence of the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989, which was triggered by young people seeking greater democratization.

Nowhere did i suggest that China was better. Its ultra-nationalism needs to be quenched much the same as Japan's does, though China has got a harder road to get there (with Japan we just have to wait a couple decades..)
