Every day is a holocaust. A little 6m figure is infinitismal compared to the death totals in Nazi extermination camps (
40 million) and other kills from the Crusades to Inquisition, Spanish Conquistadores in Americas, Armenia, bloodlets of WW1, Mao's China, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, Vietnam, modern Iraq wars, Native American policies, Nanking Massacre, Boer concentration camps, Irish Potato Famine, WW2 deaths, AIDs in Africa, the dispossessed, sickening poverty, torments of impotence, dizzying methods to kill women in the ages... The "egregore" is a multicultural cross-dresser who laughs at inopportune fear - democratic and universal in the moment.
The rivers of blood are dealt with as the gods see fit. Dehumanization is a concept; the deed is carried by human hand.
There's this:
Bartolome de Las Casas, ca 1513.
The Spaniards with their horses, their spears and lances, began to commit murders and other strange cruelties. They entered into towns and villages, sparing neither children nor old men and women. They ripped their bellies and cut them to pieces as if they had been slaughtering lambs in a field. They made bets with each other over who could thrust a sword into the middle of a man or who could cut off his head with one stroke. They took little ones by their heels and crushed their heads against the cliffs. Others they threw into the rivers laughing and mocking them as they tumbled into the water. They put everyone they met to the edge of the sword. One time I saw four or five important native nobles roasted and broiled upon makeshift grills.
And there's this:
Anguish.
That's it; that's all.
