Globalist Erika is very keen to dehumanize people. Because, obviously, waging an eternal war to procure a throne is not something individual humans think to do. That's actually the behavior of like, fantasy orcs or anime antagonists. So to believe people think that way, you'd have to believe they're not actually human.

What is very human is fighting for your life, though. To me, it seems believable that the people fighting for their own land could probably be believed when they say they want their home to be free. But Idunno. Globalist Erika has different takes.
