The Inquisition was a judicial process, it was a court with strict rules of evidence, you may not like the outcome, but the statement is factual. Your French Revolution was just a bunch of proto-communist killers.
The burden of proof left a lot to be desired in the Inquisition though. Anonymous accusers were allowed and in fact encouraged, so it bore little resemblance to what we would consider to be a judicial process today.
Plus you have powerless Everyman schmucks having their lives ruined. This is not a case of Bill Gates, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, and others being ruined by ravening mobs. Instead, cancel culture is coming for the powerless to make an example of them to scare everyone else into line. Little people can be ruined, like the small businesses in Minneapolis. Big businesses like Macy’s in New York just get to file an insurance claim for ruined good that did not sell during closures due to the pandemic, enabling them to move old stock they would have been stuck with otherwise.
We have the Inquisition. Not the French Revolution. The oligarchs will come out of this stronger and any notion of reshoring manufacturing ala the Trump America First agenda will suffer setbacks.
This is the Inquisition.
