A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular

Summary

This quote implies that a truly free society is one in which individuals can express their opinions, beliefs, or ideas, even if they are considered unpopular or go against the prevailing norms. It suggests that in a society where freedom is valued, people should feel secure and protected even when they hold views that are not widely accepted. By allowing dissenting voices and diverse perspectives, a free society promotes open dialogue, critical thinking, and the potential for progress and improvement.
