I think that the statistics show that the majority of the victims of the Reign of Terror were from the Third Estate, not the nobility. You could be punished for not showing enough support for the Revolution. A lot of the nobles fled the country when they saw how things were trending.

Atticus Finch is fictitious but in To Kill a Mockingbird he is defending someone who is clearly innocent of what he is being accused of.

In government, large industries, academia now the military promotion can hinge on whether or not you showed publicly enthusiasm for the social justice flavor-of-the-day now called DEI.

All very very Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just nicknamed the Archangel of Terror! A close colleague of Maximilien Robespierre! Possibly the first to preach the idea of constant revolution. He demanded punishment of those who just tried to keep their head down and just get by.
