Judging from them aping Hungarian “pro-natalist” programs like the tax-writeoff, when they mean “we need more babies”, they mean “we need more white babies from high-IQ families”.
Context: The tax-writeoff for children actually comes from The Bell Curve, and Hungary first tried to implement it to try to incentivize richer people to have more kids, since they would get more money per child from the state. It got repealed by the centrist-liberal MSZP-SZDSZ after Fidesz lost the 2002 elections. However, to please the more right-libertarian parts of the SZDSZ, the replacement of it was technically a welfare trap, as some people could get more money from it than the minimum wage, which forced a lot of Roma people with bigger to either not work at all, or to work illegally, and ultimately created a hot bed for the local far-right to create their own brand of “welfare queen” narratives. While it wasn’t as bad as the far-right wanted to paint it, them really focusing on a few crime cases commited by Roma (similar to the whole Casey Riley situation), they spinned the narrative to their side. And later on adding the disabled to the mix thanks to godawful jokes about the intellectually disabled then successfully convincing people that “rt** might be too stupid to even stand up thus they might be in wheelchair”, used Forrest Gump to convince that disabled people only get jobs out of pity and “connections”, and that “rich G*psy drug dealers pretend to be amputees to get enough welfare money for Mercedeses” (turned out that many of those cars belonged to old white lawyers). After the 2010 election, we got back our tax-writeoffs, and all our welfare system got destroyed in order to build a “work based society”.
Also if you ask, the myth of “women using frequent abortions instead of birth control” came from that very same era of Hungarian politics, likely from Tamás “Tomcat” Polgár, who made embarassingly bad and fashy games before AndyPants.
