Civility is often weaponized by fascists. They’ll say some horrible things… But they do it with a smile, or have an air of pseudo-intellectualism when they say it. Then when people reasonably get upset, they cry about people being uncivil and redirect the conversation. It’s a tool to avoid having to defend the indefensible things they say.
in the case of interviews, these people often try to avoid answering straightforward questions.
the good thing is, they don’t have to give an answer. the absence of one also says something. the question is, what do the people think? they have to make up their minds.

yeah, that matches my experience quite well.
