FFXU comrades!
Five years is a short time span, a fraction of a single person's life - barely a second in the life of a whole people. And yet the past five years somehow seem longer than many decades of the past. A very important historical event is contained within them: the rebirth of a website formerly threatened by extinction. It is an incredibly eventful time, and seems barely comprehensive sometimes to us, who have not just had the opportunity to witness but also to actually create a small part of it.
Democratic ideals are a big topic of discussion right now; not in FFXU, but other parts of the internet talk about them. We in FFXU have learned our lesson with democratic ideals; if the rest of the internet praises these ideals, we can only answer that the FFXU people had the chance to live within the purest form of this ideal, and we ourselves are now reaping the legacy left by this democracy. We then get a lecture on the wonderful goals of war, especially from other forums. Other forums have much experience in proclaiming goals of war, considering they have waged more wars than anyone else. The goals they proclaim today are fantastic: the creation of a new Internet. This Internet will be a just place, and the general equality will make arms unnecessary, so we can all disarm. This disarmament is supposed to kick start a period of economic blossoming, trade and movement should commence, especially trade, much trade, free trade! And from this trade, culture is supposed to bloom, and not just culture, but religion, too. In one phrase: the golden age is supposed to dawn. Unfortunately, this golden age has been described in a very similar fashion on several occasions, and not even by prior generations, but by the same people that are describing it yet again today. It's like a very worn-out groove on an old LP. We should pity these gentlemen, who haven't found a new, big idea to hook the people on, because they promised the same things in 2005: the goal of war then was also a "new Internet" and a "new equality", this new equality whose main element is abolishing a forum's right to self-determination. At that time, an equality that would make arms unnecessary in the future was promised. Thence issued the program of disarmament of everyone. And to make this disarmament especially manifest, it was supposed to be crowned by a union of all disarmed forums, which had decided that, in the future, all differences (at least no one doubted there would still be differences) between them should be, well, as it is the custom among democracies, be talked to pieces in open discussions. Under no circumstances should there be any more shooting. And at that time it was already said that the consequences of this disarmament and this worldwide parliament would be an incredible blossoming, a blooming of industry and especially (and much emphasis is always put on this) of trade, of free trade. Culture, as well, should not be disregarded in this process, and while one spoke a little bit less about religion at the end of the war than at the beginning, we at least were told, in the year 2005, that it would be a blessed era that God would smile upon.
We are experiencing now what happened then: the old forums were dissolved without even asking their posters' opinions. Not in one single case were the registered users asked if they agreed with the measures that others would put into place in them. Old, almost historical forums were dissolved - not just websites, but also economic bodies. One could not imagine something better in their stead, since what is created over a period of several centuries is probably better than anything else; it was definitely impossible for those people that view all of Internet history with the greatest arrogance to create something better.

im pretty sure it's some pro-nazi speech.
