I’ve done the mistake of opening his profile. This guy calls “aliens” the immigrants 😅
He is probably just having hard time coping with stats that measure something more useful than economy or weapons and realizing that maybe USA are not an example
Technically. But it’s definitely not polite. It’s a bit like “retard” in that it used to be the terminology but it was used derogatorily so often that that connotation took over.

Sorry, non-native here, but isn’t “alien” a synonym to “non-citizen” in American English?

TIL, thanks.
I’m also non native but I always hear it only from right wing people so I assumed that is at least a bit derogative
