They're Ymaryn who have found it very easy to convince themselves that aggressive war was a good idea. They know that the required mental gymnastics aren't hard. They also are more likely to overestimate the similarities than the differences. That's human nature to project one's own flaws on to others.
They also know that we attacked Trelli over slavery, and that we probably consider almost-People being slavers a much worse sin. It's also the logical next step of the also insane looking decision from the outside to reform the half-exiles to remove the remaining resemblance to slavery. We also just managed to conquer the Forhuch, who are even further from our Core provinces.
Being paranoid about what a civilization known for launching insane wars will do when they get what looks like the perfect setup to fight insane wars and win is not paranoia at all. The Ymaryn have serious form here. No one else would have reformed the half-exiles either.
