As an echo of mass production and consumption, death becomes serialized. The number of lives exterminated—human and non-human—is colossal and incomprehensible. Bodies are piled up, hidden in mass graves, dismembered, dissolved, erased, forgotten. The magnitude, the simultaneity, the impossibility of naming, shape the bewilderment in the face of the accumulation of murdered bodies. Each corpse, each trace, each remnant, is testimony to a social order that manufactures forms of annihilation. Not every death has a face, but every absence speaks of structures that prepare it: that kill before murdering, that govern our relationships as limitless competition, that feed us poison, that establish interpersonal bonds on abuse, that empty life of concrete content, that separate those who deserve to live from those who must be sacrificed. These are not failures in the normality of social life, nor absences of normative frameworks, nor a loss of values, nor acts committed by sick people. Extermination is a manifestation of a stage in the contemporary world marked by the catastrophe of the capitalist civilizational project.
