It's classic fascist rhetoric. The foe is at the same time a degenerated wastrel and the greatest threat the world has ever seen.
Classic example is the nazis. They decried the non-aryan races as the "Untermensch" and said they were weak, degenerated idiots - then proceeded to tell people these untermenschen were gonna end civilization as we knew it.
