In this context that probably means something around “traumatized and depressed by the military regime in the place where they come from”
But they don’t always come from places with such regimes and/or wars, while local citizens are also traumatized and depressed just for a different reason
At least in the contexts I’m talking about, and I’ve never seen it used in another, it’s really not that. It’s coming from talking heads fearmongering about nonwhites, portraying nonwhite immigrants as criminals, ginning up a “border crisis” narrative, and even calling it an “invasion.”
Yeah, pretty much. It ties into the “white genocide” and “great replacement” conspiracy theories, where the mere existence of nonwhites is taken as violence. It also often blames Jews for orchestrating it. It doesn’t make any sense, but it appeals to paranoia and supremacy, and provides a scapegoat for literally any actual systemic problem.

Ah, well, I’m wrong then. Maybe they mean something like “it’s those guys at war with us [white supremacists]” then?
Well I just learned the term today, but it seems to have the implication "these are men who could be military. They could be hidden insurgents
How convenient when nothing should be proven right
