#you know what I DONT see? ppl making the connection of the Christian influence everywhere being bc of colonialism

I think the word "puritan" is overused, especially in specific circles of people *gestures with elbow*, like I dont even think you understand how crazy puritans were. Yes there's a lot of sex negative stuff that needs to be fixed in our societies and yes a lot of that is also a result of Christian thinking, but some of what I've seen ppl refer to as "puritan" is ridiculous.

And unpopular opinion maybe but if you're a White person calling Black & Native ppl "puritans" when they express an opinion you dont like is actually kind of racist when you remember how horrific puritans were to Black & Native ppl
