the gathering place you refer to ( barber shop) was in my day my mother and father's home. We were required to discuss politics and religion and the only rule was you better be able to support your position. Now you would be warned to stay away from cooking recipes especially a red meat sauce that would get you into trouble.
It is true what you say that political correctness has actually interfered with good communication. Its why this nation can't solve its problems because we don't know how to talk to one another any longer too many trigger warnings micro aggressions and need for safe spaces And, dating/courting a lost art as we need dot.coms to connect.
