> There is no era of Western history where unpopular opinions were more acceptable than today. I suppose it depends how fine grain you can be when considering eras, but there were periods even within my own lifetime that were much more tolerant. In the 90s, there was a period where the influence of religious prigs had waned, and the secular prigs had yet to be taken seriously. The internet in particular was pretty wide open to ideas of all sorts, and no one would seek to ruin your life over disagreements. If you coursen the grain to wider epochs, then yes I think you're correct.
