And the excuse for taking the babies away from their parents was to protect them from exactly this sort of exploitation.

This competition first struck me as funny. Then I remembered the maternal/neonatal survival rates of the time and realised what the fallout of this competition must have been...
@@manfrombritain6816 Actually, no. Medically the risk gets higher with each subsequent birth. I think perhaps you're thinking only of the average length of labor time? The entire process of carrying a baby to term and then giving birth with both mother and baby surviving becomes more risky every time. Each one takes a permanent toll on the mother's body. Historically childbirth was so dangerous that victorian women would choose their funeral clothes before birth. Please, look it up :)

@@FimiliarGalaxy9 It doesn´t matter where I live. If someone who legally came to your country (lets for the sake of argument assume its Hungary) and aquired citizenship, who speaks the language, abides by its laws and pays taxes and who after living in the country for a long time considers him/herself hungarian - would you consider that person your fellow countryman/woman?
@@marcelofa89 The answer is no. Citizenship and obeying the laws does not make you a national. Actually, your idea is dominant on the only a small fraction of the globe - certain parts of Europe, then USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. In the rest of the world people make a clear distinction between citizenship and nationality and don't treat the two in the same way. Even after generations, let alone a first generation immigrant.
As someone who lives in a country that has similar problems with dwindling population as Hungary I think that the comment about them being racist with this children policy is a bit ignorant. Yes, Orban is quite xenophobic to immigrants, but you have to keep in mind that even if Hungary was wiling to accept them, very few of them would actualy stay there. For example, it is estimated that only 10% of the immigrants that my country (Croatia) has agreed to take actually stay in the country, the rest of them leave to Germany or Sweden as soon as they are able to.
yeah Orban is definitely xenophobic, but really what is wrong with wanting the founding and primary culture of a country to stay the primary and majority of a country? It works for Japan, they are hardly ever criticised for that.
Don't worry about it, it's simply brittish exceptionalism and looking downwards on whole central and eastern Europe. I have worked with a lot of brittish people, and if they have some common features, it is usually a combination of pride, arrogance and complete lack of any education, compared to any other country. People like David Mitchel are an exception.
How did this go immediately to racism? Any country with a rapidly declining / aging population will try to encourage big families. Also, Hungary has the biggest Chinese immigrant population in all of Central/Eastern - Europe and there's a Turkish restaurant / kebab place on practically every street corner in Budapest. Obviously this is primarily a comedy programme but that's a shocking level of ignorance on the panel.
Well, having Nish Kumar on is pretty much guaranteeing that the level of comedy takes a dive. Why does the BBC bother? He must have some dirt on someone there.
@@MaddRevival You are the one using foul language and implying someone's racist, so perhaps it is you that needs to chill. Anyway, my comment was very clearly formulated. If you need help understanding it, you can always bring it to the English teacher at your primary school.
Considering the fact that on the announcement he made he specifically said that it was a better alternative than allowing Muslims into the country, I think the message does have a somewhat racist tone to it.
The weirdest thing about those odds of getting twins and more - there is an outlier that skews the whole thing. In the 18th century there was supposedly a Russian peasant named Feodor Vassilyev, who in the span of 40 years had 69 children with his first wife. Similarly, there is the Gravata case, where one woman had 62 children. And there are other examples throughout history as well. Those women had sets of twins, triplets, and quadruplets at way above average rates than is normal.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 I lived in DK for 8 years. Not a good value for money in the EU since 2018 unfortunately so I chose to pay tax and receive services elsewhere.
Not a form of racism to want to have more of your own people. Just logical considering most European countries have negative birth rates. Hungarians are also incredibly proud of their lineage and heritage and want to preserve it in a world that is hugely globalised
There is no such thing as a "negative birth rate". I mean, you can't give birth to minus 4 children, can you? What you're referring to is a birth rate that is lower than "replacement value" - which is calculated to be around 2.2 (you might initially think it'd be 2, as 2 children replace their 2 parents, but the extra 0.2 is because, of course, not all children survive long enough to have children of their own, so you need a little more than 2 to truly reach a population equilibrium) - and this is actually a sign of prosperity. Because, yes, all developed industrialised nations on planet Earth have a birth rate below replacement value. This is not a mistake nor a problem. Higher birth rates track war and poverty. For example, the country with the highest birth rate on planet Earth is Afghanistan at an average of 8 children per couple (yes, 8 is the average). This desperately poor country has effectively been in perpetual war since the Soviets attempted to invade it, the Taliban oppressed it into further ruination and then the Western world also attacked it as "revenge" for 9/11 (even though the majority nationality of the kamakazi terrorists who committed that act were Saudi - but Saudi has oil, so we ignored that and just attacked Afghanistan and Iraq instead). The next highest birth rate is found in Central Africa. Again, desperately poor nations, who were involved in the Congolese War. This also tracks historically. In that, when were these industrialised Western nations last above replacement value? Well, in the post-war "baby boom". And the keywords there are "post-war". In essence, it was a natural population recovery for the vast losses of World War 1, the Spanish Flu pandemic and World War 2, which all happened pretty much in succession to each other. When a population's numbers are threatened by war and / or poverty, it is a measured statistical fact that the birth rate rises to compensate. When Thomas Malthus wrote of his "Malthusian Collapse" - which, by the way, you should look into, as it is the CATASTROPHE that overpopulation inherently brings, seeing as you're keen to advocate for over-populating your nation - he was writing before Darwin and natural selection, to have failed to have realised that, simply, nature has already thought of this. When population numbers are threatened - by war and poverty - then birth rates rise. But, in peace and prosperity, birth rates naturally fall BELOW REPLACEMENT VALUE. Because, of course, what needs to be further noted here is that these developed industrialised nations that all uniformly have birth rates below replacement value is that there has been no population control policies enacted by governments to make this happen. It is an entirely natural human response. It is bred into us by natural selection. If anything, Western nations have - through child support payments and welfare - actually rewarded larger familes... and yet the numbers naturally fall regardless. Feel free to verify this for yourself. Pull up a world map of the Human Development Index (a measure of how developed / prosperous nations are) and then pull up a world map of birth rates, then superimpose the two on top of each other. You will see that the correlate and track each other (with only a few known exceptions - such as China, that instituted a "One Child Policy" to control their population). Most European nations do, indeed, have birth rates below replacement value. This is a sign of prosperity and strength. After all, why do you want to have a larger native population? Are you anticipating war, and require a bigger army? Or are you insufficiently prosperous as a nation that you need every hand on the decks to struggle through your relative poverty to increase productivity? You see, most European nations do not require overpopulation, as their wealth and productivity is perfectly adequate. Why would they want more people? More mouths to feed. More unemployed - as "full employment" is already impossible, so having twice as many people is just an additional burden that is not matched by there being enough employment for them all. You could validly accuse these nations of being complacent. But, well, you have to be rich and prosperous to be able to afford to be complacent, right? Nations are not better for having larger populations. The largest population on Earth is in China, followed by India - and while these nations are rapidly developing, they developed their massive populations in, for the majority of their people, a past of terrible poverty. Economic inequality is still insanely high in these nations. China instituted its "One Child Policy" - to reduce its population - in full understanding that its population of 1.3 billion is a burden, not an asset, to its development and prosperity. And that's even in a nation where, due to Communism, the State effectively has owns a slave labour force that builds nearly all of the world's products. Yet they don't want overpopulation - because it's a burden, it's a barrier, it's a shackle on their progress to prosperity. Where did you get the idea that having a bigger population is a good thing? Clearly not from China - they absolutely don't want their 1.3 billion population. Not from India, the social and economic inequality of their 1.1 billion population is a vast chasm. It can't be from Afghanistan - the nation with the highest birth rate on the planet - because who wants to emulate their decades-long war-torn poverty (largely, it must be said, from other nations forever invading them). All those nations with birth rates below replacement value that you condemn? Some of the highest HDI scores and most peaceful and prosperous nations on the planet are in the number. Indeed, if you want to accuse these nations of complacency then you might have a valid point - but, think about it, only the rich and happy can afford to be so complacent. Seriously, are you intending to invade your neighbours? That would be a reason to increase the population - to build up your supply of expendable troops for war, which will doubtless cull the population back down again. You don't get a prize for having the biggest population, you know. China has that, and no-one is handing it any awards, or gazing on in admiration of their great burden. Not even China itself awards itself any prizes for this fact - it doesn't want it, and has long attempted to enact policies to reduce the population, as it's a problem for them, not a solution to anything. Where did you ever get the idea that it's a good thing? Because, ask these far greater nations, whose populations dwarf your own - including many of these European countries you criticise - and find out if any of them feel having even more people would actually help them out. The unanimous answer, by the way, is "no".

Yep all races of people are beautiful and interesting in their own way. Nothing wrong with some level of immigration but it would be sad if native people's became a minority in any country. It was sad when it happened in the USA and it would be equally sad if it happened in Hungary.

That said, the distributions is not uniform: there are places where there are a lot more twins than average. It seems that people can be genetically disposed to twins, for instance. And that maybe some environmental factors can play a role in making them more likely.
There’s a theory (I don’t know if it’s been probed right or wrong) that left handed people were originally twins in the womb, where the egg had split but their twin didn’t survive. It’s possible more people would have been twins but something went wrong
That exemption to tax for having more children is in no way racist, frankly I think its a wonderful idea as most western states culture are slowly withering away due to extremely low birth rates. Immigration is a cheap and lazy way to fix a deep and serious problem with Birth rates and eventually cause culture clashes because of non-assimilation. Russia has a birth incentive program and its been shown to work better. I believe that countries should only accept skill based Immigration ( Australian Points System ) and use Birth incentives to grow population.

This competition first struck me as funny. Then I remembered the maternal/neonatal survival rates of the time and realised what the fallout of this competition must have been...
As David Mitchell once said: "It was carnage." Although it was his thumb he was talking about.
If you survived your first birth, the rest were far easier so the risk was probably no higher than it would have been having just 1
@@manfrombritain6816 Actually, no. Medically the risk gets higher with each subsequent birth. I think perhaps you're thinking only of the average length of labor time? The entire process of carrying a baby to term and then giving birth with both mother and baby surviving becomes more risky every time. Each one takes a permanent toll on the mother's body. Historically childbirth was so dangerous that victorian women would choose their funeral clothes before birth. Please, look it up :)

So the majority of the population of the USA is out then
@@marcelofa89 The answer is no. Citizenship and obeying the laws does not make you a national. Actually, your idea is dominant on the only a small fraction of the globe - certain parts of Europe, then USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. In the rest of the world people make a clear distinction between citizenship and nationality and don't treat the two in the same way. Even after generations, let alone a first generation immigrant.
As someone who lives in a country that has similar problems with dwindling population as Hungary I think that the comment about them being racist with this children policy is a bit ignorant. Yes, Orban is quite xenophobic to immigrants, but you have to keep in mind that even if Hungary was wiling to accept them, very few of them would actualy stay there. For example, it is estimated that only 10% of the immigrants that my country (Croatia) has agreed to take actually stay in the country, the rest of them leave to Germany or Sweden as soon as they are able to.
nish kumar will pretty much call anything short of full open borders, subsidising your guests and silencing all criticism of such policies "racist".
yeah Orban is definitely xenophobic, but really what is wrong with wanting the founding and primary culture of a country to stay the primary and majority of a country? It works for Japan, they are hardly ever criticised for that.
Don't worry about it, it's simply brittish exceptionalism and looking downwards on whole central and eastern Europe.

Considering the fact that on the announcement he made he specifically said that it was a better alternative than allowing Muslims into the country, I think the message does have a somewhat racist tone to it.
The weirdest thing about those odds of getting twins and more - there is an outlier that skews the whole thing. In the 18th century there was supposedly a Russian peasant named Feodor Vassilyev, who in the span of 40 years had 69 children with his first wife. Similarly, there is the Gravata case, where one woman had 62 children. And there are other examples throughout history as well.
Those women had sets of twins, triplets, and quadruplets at way above average rates than is normal.
So I went to Budapest with my GF, saw all the family planning ads, and now we have twins! Halfway there...

Not a form of racism to want to have more of your own people. Just logical considering most European countries have negative birth rates. Hungarians are also incredibly proud of their lineage and heritage and want to preserve it in a world that is hugely globalised
Well what do you expect from Nish - he probably doesn't bat an eye at an Asian family having 4+ kids
There is no such thing as a "negative birth rate". I mean, you can't give birth to minus 4 children, can you?
What you're referring to is a birth rate that is lower than "replacement value" - which is calculated to be around 2.2 (you might initially think it'd be 2, as 2 children replace their 2 parents, but the extra 0.2 is because, of course, not all children survive long enough to have children of their own, so you need a little more than 2 to truly reach a population equilibrium) - and this is actually a sign of prosperity.
Because, yes, all developed industrialised nations on planet Earth have a birth rate below replacement value. This is not a mistake nor a problem.
Higher birth rates track war and poverty. For example, the country with the highest birth rate on planet Earth is Afghanistan at an average of 8 children per couple (yes, 8 is the average). This desperately poor country has effectively been in perpetual war since the Soviets attempted to invade it, the Taliban oppressed it into further ruination and then the Western world also attacked it as "revenge" for 9/11 (even though the majority nationality of the kamakazi terrorists who committed that act were Saudi - but Saudi has oil, so we ignored that and just attacked Afghanistan and Iraq instead).
The next highest birth rate is found in Central Africa. Again, desperately poor nations, who were involved in the Congolese War.
This also tracks historically. In that, when were these industrialised Western nations last above replacement value? Well, in the post-war "baby boom". And the keywords there are "post-war". In essence, it was a natural population recovery for the vast losses of World War 1, the Spanish Flu pandemic and World War 2, which all happened pretty much in succession to each other.
When a population's numbers are threatened by war and / or poverty, it is a measured statistical fact that the birth rate rises to compensate.
When Thomas Malthus wrote of his "Malthusian Collapse" - which, by the way, you should look into, as it is the CATASTROPHE that overpopulation inherently brings, seeing as you're keen to advocate for over-populating your nation - he was writing before Darwin and natural selection, to have failed to have realised that, simply, nature has already thought of this.
When population numbers are threatened - by war and poverty - then birth rates rise. But, in peace and prosperity, birth rates naturally fall BELOW REPLACEMENT VALUE.
Because, of course, what needs to be further noted here is that these developed industrialised nations that all uniformly have birth rates below replacement value is that there has been no population control policies enacted by governments to make this happen. It is an entirely natural human response. It is bred into us by natural selection.
If anything, Western nations have - through child support payments and welfare - actually rewarded larger familes... and yet the numbers naturally fall regardless.
Feel free to verify this for yourself. Pull up a world map of the Human Development Index (a measure of how developed / prosperous nations are) and then pull up a world map of birth rates, then superimpose the two on top of each other. You will see that the correlate and track each other (with only a few known exceptions - such as China, that instituted a "One Child Policy" to control their population).
Most European nations do, indeed, have birth rates below replacement value. This is a sign of prosperity and strength.
After all, why do you want to have a larger native population? Are you anticipating war, and require a bigger army? Or are you insufficiently prosperous as a nation that you need every hand on the decks to struggle through your relative poverty to increase productivity?
You see, most European nations do not require overpopulation, as their wealth and productivity is perfectly adequate. Why would they want more people? More mouths to feed. More unemployed - as "full employment" is already impossible, so having twice as many people is just an additional burden that is not matched by there being enough employment for them all.
You could validly accuse these nations of being complacent. But, well, you have to be rich and prosperous to be able to afford to be complacent, right?
Nations are not better for having larger populations. The largest population on Earth is in China, followed by India - and while these nations are rapidly developing, they developed their massive populations in, for the majority of their people, a past of terrible poverty. Economic inequality is still insanely high in these nations.
China instituted its "One Child Policy" - to reduce its population - in full understanding that its population of 1.3 billion is a burden, not an asset, to its development and prosperity. And that's even in a nation where, due to Communism, the State effectively has owns a slave labour force that builds nearly all of the world's products. Yet they don't want overpopulation - because it's a burden, it's a barrier, it's a shackle on their progress to prosperity.
Where did you get the idea that having a bigger population is a good thing? Clearly not from China - they absolutely don't want their 1.3 billion population. Not from India, the social and economic inequality of their 1.1 billion population is a vast chasm. It can't be from Afghanistan - the nation with the highest birth rate on the planet - because who wants to emulate their decades-long war-torn poverty (largely, it must be said, from other nations forever invading them).
All those nations with birth rates below replacement value that you condemn? Some of the highest HDI scores and most peaceful and prosperous nations on the planet are in the number. Indeed, if you want to accuse these nations of complacency then you might have a valid point - but, think about it, only the rich and happy can afford to be so complacent.
Seriously, are you intending to invade your neighbours? That would be a reason to increase the population - to build up your supply of expendable troops for war, which will doubtless cull the population back down again.
You don't get a prize for having the biggest population, you know. China has that, and no-one is handing it any awards, or gazing on in admiration of their great burden. Not even China itself awards itself any prizes for this fact - it doesn't want it, and has long attempted to enact policies to reduce the population, as it's a problem for them, not a solution to anything.
Where did you ever get the idea that it's a good thing? Because, ask these far greater nations, whose populations dwarf your own - including many of these European countries you criticise - and find out if any of them feel having even more people would actually help them out. The unanimous answer, by the way, is "no".
@@klaxoncow Listen, person! Firstly this is the comment section, not the book section. You made your point until your final paragraph.

That said, the distributions is not uniform: there are places where there are a lot more twins than average. It seems that people can be genetically disposed to twins, for instance. And that maybe some environmental factors can play a role in making them more likely.
There’s a theory (I don’t know if it’s been probed right or wrong) that left handed people were originally twins in the womb, where the egg had split but their twin didn’t survive. It’s possible more people would have been twins but something went wrong
Twins aren't often identical
That exemption to tax for having more children is in no way racist, frankly I think its a wonderful idea as most western states culture are slowly withering away due to extremely low birth rates. Immigration is a cheap and lazy way to fix a deep and serious problem with Birth rates and eventually cause culture clashes because of non-assimilation. Russia has a birth incentive program and its been shown to work better. I believe that countries should only accept skill based Immigration ( Australian Points System ) and use Birth incentives to grow population.

Babies are precious, and so many people today think they need to have everything perfect to have kids, they can't distinguish needs from luxuries.
China is doing the same, three kids now said Xi Ping !

Anyway, Hungary's policy IS racist, but that's a good thing. The idea of White folks putting their own race first is only evil according to the people who want to destroy us.
@@RabbiHerschel Race isn't part of the policy, so how can it be racist?

Imagine being so racist against Hungarians that you can't even appreciate it when Hungary passes a law that permanently improves the lives of Hungarian mothers.
Except the guy who put it into law is a proponent of the ‘great replacement’ conspiracy. And the loan is a one-time 27 grand, which would seem great in the short term, so you have three kids, which cost 185 grand EACH to raise, and then what? You have three kids you possibly can’t afford and the 27 grand doesn’t last long. This is a scheme to get desperate women to pump out children with the right physical features that they can’t actually afford to raise with the promise of short-term benefits. Don’t pretend like the guy who spoke out against democracy and introduced prison time for ‘fake news’ and created an internet tax to hide his corruption gives a shit about any one of his citizens
It's outrageous, a law that abolishes taxes on people regardless of their race is super racist! ..somehow.
@@asdasdasdora the law itself isn’t racist, but the guy behind it absolutely is, and if you think he’s doing it out of the goodness of his heart, you’re naive
@@emilybarclay8831 No politicians have good hearts, you're naive for thinking that.
@@emilybarclay8831 Problem: we habe dwindling population. Solution: child benefits. Seems pretty straight forward to me. There is absolutely no bias on race or ethnicity. You have a citizenship? Than you can apply for it! There is nothing on the law from stopping a korean woman from relocating to Hungary, appling for a citizenship, and having 4 babies entitling for said tax policy.
Well they are real Hungarians whether you like it or not lol. Immigrants aren't Hungarian
People can become Hungarian, can't they?
@@zyaicob People can become Hungarian citizens. They can't become Hungarian people. I'm white British and live in Japan. In a year I'm able to claim citizenship. If I get citizenship I will be a Japanese citizen. But I would not be a Japanese person nor would you consider me one. Same shit.
@@-bubby9633 pardon me if this is too personal a question, but why are you trying to obtain Japanese citizenship? It's my understanding that the Japanese government does not allow dual citizenship (a good policy, wish we could apply that to all of the Israeli dual citizens in the US government). Why do you want to renounce your loyalty to the United Kingdom?
@@-bubby9633 See but these same Brits have no problem with Japan's policies, Japan is cute so we don't like to call it racist. Good for Japan, I hope they keep it like that because they sure as hell have a tidy, safe society.
"Breeding as an act of racism" What on actual Earth, is this really the British now?
@Don Fatale Glad to know. Do the tories have favourable media outlets, or is the entire establishment labour-oriented?
@Don Fatale It's a good country, if you have western money.
@Don Fatale Yeah, things like that are easy to say, when you actually have money.
Well, then, what do you think the purpose of such a policy is? Why is Hungary simultaneously trying to get Hungarians to breed and trying to restrict immigration? If population is a problem, why not try to also increase legal immigration? If it's about culture, why not require immigrants to culturally assimilate?
It's not like countries do this sort of thing for fun. They clearly have a reason they have chosen to incentivize larger families. I'm open to the idea that there could be another goal, but "trying to outbreed THEM" is a common strategy used by nationalists.
@@ZipplyZane We already import Chinese by the thousands, it's not like we have closed borders. We oppose taking in loads of refugees. The vast majority of Muslims simply can't integrate here. Also, uh... Y'know... The part of our brain that favours similar people still works.
Having a large family is now racist too? Dumbest take I’ve heard this week.
White people continuing to exist is "racist" to these cretins.
Writing a law that gives benefits to large families based on their race is racist. Which doesn't apply here, since the Hungarian law does not discriminate.
Anyway, it was either hyperbole as a joke, based on a misunderstanding of the law, or just plain wrong. The take you represent assumes malice, and it is always better to assume incompetence like so: "This comedian jumped to a stupid conclusion."
@@bramvanduijn8086 Don't play stupid. Their intent is clear as day, and is prevalent throughout the western world. It's plain wrong, but it's not wrong by mistake.
@@bramvanduijn8086 Reading malice from Nish Kumar is not an assumption at all, I'm afraid. Usually you'd be right, but Hanlon's razor does not apply here. Nish absolutely is 100% intentional with his subversive ideological chisel, chipping away at everything it means to be British -- or in this case, Hungarian. He's got a well-documented track record of being an insufferably sanctimonious shitweasel.
@@roberthermann97 even if the viel is fully lifted, wanting your country to be populated by the people who come from there isn't innately wrong. There's a reason esoterics is heavily deep into race. It's important
Breeding is not an act of racism. Such an idiotic thing to say.
Aisling Bea is freaking gorgeous!!!
Orban is a weirdo, but providing financial benefits for more children in light of population decline isn’t “racist.”
Imagine trying to avoid taxes in a country that has lowest taxes in Europe...
As a Hungarian I wish, but It's actually the words highest, you just have no idea how taxes works here.
One second hasn't Hungary brought in that law to encourage a younger population to help pay for the aging population in their country Hungary? 🤔 nice race baiting QI.
If it was about having a 'larger younger population' then the govt could increase immigration.
Segment should have ended after Aislings answer. Honestly brilliant
Ads👎
About the Hungarian births: Idk what the problem is that people want to hang onto their cultures & ethnicities. Thats what makes us all unique!!!
Well, one problem is that you can perfectly well have Hungarian culture among people who weren’t born in Hungary or whose parents weren’t born in Hungary. Maintaining your own culture doesn’t require suppressing or excluding anyone else’s.
If you would know any the Hungarian government you would know they are actually spreading anti immigrant and racist propaganda, amongst of anti LGBTQ and other hateful ideas
A middle-income country like Hungary with a rare language has never been or will be a very attractive final destination for migrants, anyways. (Most of the immigrants would eventually move on to the richer Western European neighbours if the opportunity arises.)
@@beeble2003 obviously becoming a minority in your own country isnt going to help maintain your culture lmao
@@jpietersen519 Um. Hungary is 94% ethnic-Hungarian. Nine million foreigners could move to Hungary tomorrow and Hungarians would still be in a majority.
Why did Nish have to play the race card here? It ruined what could have been a good segment.
Promoting ethnic Hungarians in Hungary instead of importing foreigners to replace them... and the first thing these guys go to is "racism" ok bro.
Promoting one ethnicity over another one is literally the definition of racism. Which part of this is difficult for you?
@@beeble2003 In your definition then, racism has nothing to do with human races. Then everything that only applies to the citizens of a particular country is racism. Then the British are also very racist in not giving British citizenship, social rental housing and benefits to everyone who just asks for it from anywhere in the world.
@@bulcsuvezer9378 Racism is discrimination on the basis of ethnicity or nationality.
@@beeble2003 Racism is discrimination on the basis of citizenship ? Then every single country on earth is racist.
The law makes no reference to either race or ethnicity.
It's modeled after a program Hitler instituted in order to get more Aryans to breed.
When you're on the same side as Hitler then it's time to get off the internet and spend some time outside.
Haha edited.
You have to look at the full picture. If all they wanted was population growth, opening the doors to immigrants would be a much faster way of doing that. A Hungarian woman could increase Hungary's population by four in an instant by letting four foreigners live in her house. Adding four people by having babies will take four or five years.
@@beeble2003 Also newborn children a) cost a ton in education over the future years, whereas immigrants have most of the basics covered already and mostly just need to learn the language and b) don't alleviate the pressure on regions that the geopolitical north has put on the south.
@@beeble2003 Hungry has a small population and a small language and culture, they have only survived this long by being their own people, in the near future upwards of 100 million africans will flea to europe due to egypt and ethiopia going to war over the niles water alone, EU governments are just scrambling to make their decision as after the last 20 years they know they can't even intergrade 10 million africans successfully that quickly. Will be weird to see which choice they make, EU becomes fully anti immigration or Europe as a civilisation stops existing as it currently does. fascinating times
Immigrants though will directly compete for jobs and houses though, reducing living standards. Also I don't know your point about north Vs south really holds water, what pressure is the "North" putting on the South, and why is the South losing people a solution to this?
@@joejones244 How do you know?
Madlad.
I don't understand what it is about racists where they proudly say racist things but get angry if someone uses the word racism. Everything you said is literally racist.
Saying that one person is preferable to another because of their ethnic background alone is exactly what racism is. Racism is prejudice, it is judging someone from where they come from, or at least from where you think they come from, rather than the content of their character. You don't get to invoke nationalistic pride and say that that makes it non-racist. What you're doing is helping to show why nationalism often ends up being racist.
Scum racism from the BBC, who would have thought it.
but what about the husbands? only women to be permanently exempt from income tax, after they have had 4 children? no mention of sexism ?
A tax allowance is paid directly to the woman to ensure it goes to the person caring for the babies... some fathers are absent, abusive, controlling... etc.
If the couple are together the father gets it too doesn't he. 😉
@@jaygee1868 Paying to the woman to ensure the person caring for the children get it, isnt that a bit backward?
Should it not be paying to the person caring for the children, mother or father?
Lets not get into the whole absent/abusive/controlling, that is 100% NOT limited to fathers or men...
@@ssu7653 payable to the person who gives birth.
If that person gives up parental responsibility, or its removed from them, then the legal guardian can claim it.
Done. 😉
@@jaygee1868 More or less how it is, unless a woman is specific found unfit for raising children she is considered the best option.
Esp considering a woman with 4 kids is likely to be main caregiver of said kids and therefore not available to work much anyways... for a few years anyways.
If you're still wondering if the tax exemption policy is racist, the government literally justified it by saying that the world belongs to those who breed the most.
So the goal is to breed Hungarians because they are superior.
Hungarian here: It's fake, if you *have* 4 children (not quadriplets! :D) you're tax-free.
Watch two seconds more and they explain this.
damn
Hungary for the Hungarians!
