Puritans were English protestants. I think you mean to say it's being taken over by European values.

Puritans were kicked out of Europe for their views

Nothing says tolerance and no censorship like kicking out people for their views

So European values of the 1500s through 1700s are not puritan values.

Europe has liberalised since then.

If people are tolerant, they're woke. If people are intolerant, they're nazis. Standards of conduct are oppressive, but the lack of them indicate a shithole. And of course, anything in-between is just performative fence-sitting.

Tough crowd over here. Cultural bankruptcy speedrun much?

Ah yes, after muricans bad, let's have some euros bad.

I learn some amazing things on this site. Apparently the culture agnostic, historical practice of designating words and phrases as distasteful is actually a modern American, European, no actually Globalist, but ah no actually religious, but also no maybe Chinese?, no, definitely a Russian mind virus. Whatever the prominent narrative is for the given person at any given time.

Bit like when "mums is blaming everything on the computer". Just with political sophistry.

Censoring shit or fuck is very much not a European thing.
