Summary

Nutrition label

66% Informative

Anna Gat is a Hungarian émigré who is now happily based in New York .

In 2016 Anna founded Interintellect: a platform that allows people to create discussion forums, talks followed by Q&A sessions.

She has had an extraordinarily varied, kaleidoscopic, cosmopolitan, and intellectually rich life.

We discussed Hungary and the Orbán regime; Girardian triangulation; Elective Affinities .

The Quillette podcast talks to the author about his experiences in Hungary .

He says he left the country in 2009 because of the Orbán regime.

But he says he is scared to criticise the regime because he has family and friends in Hungary and is putting himself to danger by criticising it publicly.

Hungarian poet and playwright says he left the country in 2013 after a 'boom' period of political turmoil.

He says Orbán came to power in 2009 and wiped out the 'old-timey' city life of Budapest intelligentsia.

Orbán has a Christian conservative tilt to it, but just enough to make people feel that they have already done the work and feel good about themselves.
