People hesitate being honest, because of fear of consequence. People are afraid of getting judged/punished:

WOW you said THAT?, you phobic bigot, I will guilt, silence, or fire you. OUR group is the ultimate moral authority over you. We're disowning you.

That's judgement, and the hostile climate in 2020 culture. The opposite would be:

Oh, you think differently? Don't worry, we can disagree and I won't silence or disown you. I have my views but you don't have to agree with them. I still appreciate you because there's more to your humanity than your worldview.

That's a non-judgemental culture

I guess in my case I don’t care if they judge me, I do care about not getting a job ever again or losing my home etc.
