US Resembles Putin’s Russia: Growing Authoritarianism Concerns
The author, drawing from their experiences studying Russia, observes concerning parallels between Putin’s Russia and the current state of the United States. They highlight how Russia, through policies, marginalized certain groups and enriched the elite, a characteristic of a fascist regime. This marginalization manifested in the removal of certain groups from public spaces and the prioritization of superficial consumerism over basic human needs. The author fears that the US is headed down a similar path, mirroring the social stratification and inequities observed in Putin’s Russia.
