I have strong opinions on all of this, but first I would like to know what Dakka is. Google AI said this: Dakka has multiple meanings, including:
A raised platform in a mosque: A dikka or dakka is a raised platform in a mosque where the Quran is recited and where the muezzin chants. In Turkish, it is known as a müezzin mahfili.
A term for firearms in Warhammer 40,000: Dakka is a term used to describe the firearms used by Orks in Warhammer 40,000.
A trope for solving problems by firing rounds of ammunition: The trope "More Dakka" is used to describe the idea of solving problems by firing as many rounds of ammunition as possible.
An Austronesian language: Dakka is an Austronesian language spoken in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
A resort town in Pakistan: Ghora Dhaka or Ghora Dakka is a resort town in northeast Pakistan.
A Syrian footballer: Abdulkader Dakka is a Syrian footballer born in 1985.
A game: Dakka Squadron is an aerial shooter game for the Nintendo Switch and other platforms. In the game, you play as an Ork Flyboy who fights in air battles across war-torn landscapes.
You're correct in your assessment, but as a minor addendum, the trope originates from the immediately preceding list item. The Orks in Warhammer 40k are the faction most inclined to solve problems by brute force, and hence a problem that Dakka isn't solving is one that naturally suggests that the solution is "More Dakka."
Only German policies from 1933 to 1945 worked well. We must inscrease not only in quantity, but mainly in quality. Israel, India and Africa are worsening the curve. Importing muslims will bring more problems instead of solving them. We must work with the Nordic populations in the diaspora and raise and rise them to the pole positions. Heroic culture, leadership principle, education in raciology and race pride and exclude the unfit. It worked once and it will work again. God with us
The PGS sceeening study introduces a good dose of bias by checking whether the respondents actually understand the issue (must score 5/7 on a questionnaire)
Therefore respondents are significantly over educated vs general population.
Wonder how much we should correct the 77% figure to account for this. Probably possible to poll the less educated specifically by taking more time to explain the issue in another follow up study.
In central Europe, encouraging the "right" kind of fertility (generally middle-class and rich people) is a huge part of the discussion and very politically sensitive. Not encouraging poor people to have more children is 100% by design. The Hungarian tax subsidies make a lot of sense in this context.
I'm curious to hear your opinion on this. You seem to criticize the Hungarian approach at first, but then you endorse similar approaches later (e.g. Bryan Caplan's tax subsidy).
I faced a fertility issue not mentioned here: my wife had pregnancy-induced Crohn's Disease. After the second child they warned us not to have another kid for fear for her life.

I assume it's not the Syrian footballer
Never mind, I'm guessing it's the trope one. Missed that on my first reading.

It looks like you are referring to Lyman Stone with female pronouns in this?
oh my I've been doing that for YEARS.
Great roundup! Yes, Polybius is one of many who comment on fertility in the ancient world. Also see Aristotle and Plato. One such article here:

Imagining Taylor swift personally blessing each third child for fertility gains in the US
I mean you'd need to do it as part of the stadium tour, but if you included free tickets...
Or get 20 of the most popular celebrities in America, and you get to choose your own adventure. Don't let the Swifties have all the fun.

Medical research needed.
