It sounds, though, that people used their speech - at a time when their speech was constitutionally protected but neither popular or safe, to change your mind.

I think this, among other things, is what Biden may be referring to in his recent comments on freedom of speech.
- southphillyman 9y agoYes, I thought about this after I made my comment. I'm looking at my situation in retrospect now that I AGREE with the sentiment that the "PC Culture" was trying to influence me to have. Some other exercising of freedom of speech could be used to influence me to have hateful opinions I suppose. I think the main difference is that usually people agree that being politically correct is good natured in its intent. Opponents of "PC Culture" usually are criticizing people for being overly sensitive which implies that the offenses are legitimate but for whatever reason are not worth sacrificing personal freedoms over.
- humanrebar 9y agoIn the 90s people criticized PC culture for being oversensitive. Now they criticize it for being overbearing and even oppressive.
