What are European values, actually? I don't think there is a lot that all member state citizens actually share, except for a lot of wishful thinking.

Replace European with Cosmopolitan values. There are no unified European values, as the states of Europe are quite diverse. But there is significant cultural homogeneity for a subset of the population, the cosmopolitans. They tend to be the elites and form these kind of discourses. They use the term European values, mostly unaware of their cosmopolitan nature.
That’s the question that is easy to answer with a single document:

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/char_2012/oj/eng

freedom of speech is notably absent here.
Title II, Article 11.
All member states share the European Convention on Human Rights.
>What are European values, actually?

We accept that each European country people are equal, we agree to collaborate and not screw each others for land.

Also we in majority are against fascism,racism and discrimination though social media managed to make a portion of idiots to hate LGBTQs and wokes so they want they adopted fascist values. We as citizens we re doing our best to fight aginst this fascists groups.

And before some MAGA will calim that right wing extemists are not fascists, I remind you that supporting assassinations, deportations, killings while at the same time pretending to be Christian is fascist (at least in my country, in USA might be labeled different)
