Yes, this is part of the conundrum. "Wanting to live forever" is about humans wanting to live forever, and really, only particular humans, not other humans or other life, as you point out.
I would say rather than fascists/civ being a culture of death it is a culture of the fear of death. And, being so afraid of death, then being willing to destroy the entire planet in service to not dying.

You make a good point though in that to anyone outside their small, but powerful, group it is the end of the world.
