"Dying Populations, Not Climate Changes, Are Biggest Threat to Western Civilization." (Viktor Orban)
Russian Faith ^ | 10/17/19 | Svetlana Ekimenko

Faced with the challenge of a declining population, governments across central Europe have introduced financial incentives for having children...

As Budapest hosts an international summit on demography this week, attended by several regional leaders and delegations from dozens of countries, the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orban deplored the population decline in Europe while lauding Hungary's pro-family policy, writes the Financial Times.

Orban said it was conceivable that Hungary, with a population of just under 10 million and shrinking, due to plummeting birthrates and emigration to EU states further west, could just disappear.

“It’s not hard to imagine that there would be one single last man who has to turn the lights out,” Orban said at the opening of the conference on 5 September.

Orbán, known for his tough stance on immigration, said other European politicians saw it as the solution, but he firmly rejected this.

“If Europe is not going to be populated by Europeans in the future and we take this as given, then we are speaking about an exchange of populations, to replace the population of Europeans with others. There are political forces in Europe who want a replacement of population for ideological or other reasons,” said Orban.

The biggest threat to Western Civilization is abandoning the tenants of western civilization including empiricism and instead adopting whole hog revolutionary propaganda - climate change - as revealed truth.

Orban has been in power too long and it has gone to his head. He is corrupt in holding onto power.

BUT

He is right about many things. He is right about populations.

Hungary offered families that have 4 children to live tax free.

That promotes the family.

Yes, Hungarian women are gorgeous. I am marrying one.

In order to survive, the west must outlaw abortion and greatly restrict birth control to couples with more than 3 children and subsidize large families.

Western civilization is being curbed by anti-father “family” court and the divorce industry. Who wants to marry and breed only to be impoverished with the government’s blessing?
