The psychological injury inflicted by exposure to, or direct victimization by, oppressive political systems, violent ideological conflict, state-sponsored violence, or the chronic terror of living under unstable or authoritarian regimes. This includes the trauma of refugees, persecuted minorities, political prisoners, and citizens subjected to gaslighting propaganda, the collapse of social contracts, and the betrayal by trusted institutions. It is the damage done when the political sphere, which should provide security and order, becomes a source of pervasive threat and moral injury.
