"Beneath the surface, of course, Cabaret is another story, a tale of a country spiraling downward – defeated by war and economic depression – while fascism, in the form of the Nazis, is on the rise."

I'm currently brushing up on what Orban did in Hungary open.spotify.com/episode/31VU... it's grim but sets out the modern playbook for authoritarianism. Worth a listen (in between your many projects).

currently listening to 24-2 podcast about how Orban gained control in Hungary. The parallels -gerrymandering, control of the courts, mobilising the base - it's all right there. It doesn't bode well for the midterms ... open.spotify.com/episode/31VU...
