The government is arguably on the same level as Alex when it comes to heinousness, but then again, stories can have more than one qualifier. And to the government’s credit, they are well-intentioned after all, while Alex only cares about his own pleasure. As for all the people getting revenge on Alex, we might as well cut Alan Yates because the tribes horrifically butchered him and his crew as revenge for attacking them. And yes, I’m aware that the message of the story is that everyone does bad things. But like I said several times already, from everything that is shown onscreen, Alex is the worst, considering all the rape, torture, and abuse he commits for literally no reason. Long story short, he stands out enough to be considered egregious even for the bleak setting.
