Evil. Gimme a better term and I'll use it. But for now: evil.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

evil implies the only way to beat them is to be "good'. it demonizes them into being monsters, which is no different than what they do.

a better term is reprobate.

an unprincipled or depraved person

I would add unscrupulous, but it may be redundant.

Having or showing no regard for what is right or honorable.
