> This is the classic centrist liberalism argument

Is this the step 1 of the identity politics game ? Paint someone as X Y Z and be done ? In what world being civilised is constrained to "classic centrist liberals" ?

All politics is identity politics. Putting "identity" in front of it is a weasel word to deflect, as you've just done.

My point still stands. Remaining civilized at all costs in the face of incivility is as insane as trying to calmly debate someone as they are in the process of murdering you.
