39: Our Decision Brothers and sisters! We know how you feel at this moment. Your feelings are ours. The same doubt, the same uncertainty tears at us all. History has put before us the greatest imaginable test. We grew up upon a continent that has long forgotten itself. We were raised by parents who were determined to destroy our countries while being surrounded by vital and strong foreign peoples who are striving for the riches of an enfeebled Europe. This is our fate. A fate that we cannot escape. Whether we want it or not, whether we recognise it or not, whether we accept it or deny it, it is and remains our fate. And yet we have a choice. Each one of must make a decision for himself. Each of us must decide. Do we want to tackle the challenge that history presents to us together, or do we want to give up and let Europe fall? It is a difficult decision, and no one should make it lightly. Every choice brings heavy consequences. If we let Europe die, we can still retreat. We can leave the political sphere, give up the big cities, and migrate with our families to remote villages. We can still lead a happy life in peace, quiet, and seclusion. We can flee from all the decadence of our society, for there are still other places where we can take refuge. Nothing stops us from achieving personal happiness. But if we do this, if we give up and retreat, then Europe will undeniably and permanently decline and fall. Isn’t that fine, so long as we can still live our own lives happily and peacefully? We might also come to a different conclusion. We could proudly and bravely declare, ‘Europe will never pass away! We will never let Europe die!’ If we were to say this, if enough of us were to say it, if enough of us would stand up and fight, if we can find the courage for this decision, then yes, Europe will live. Then this continent will be born again, and enter a new era of freedom. We will be the heroes of future history. This decision will mean a great deal of personal suffering. It means a fight. Not for weeks or months, but for years and decades, a fight that will tax and take its toll upon each of us. It means standing up. Standing up against our parents, against the state, against politics, against all who claim to be able to determine our future for us. It means raising our voices, speaking out when our identity is defamed, interrupting when everyone else is in passive agreement. It means dispute. It means passionate discussion, without ever doubting the justice of our cause. It means conflict. Conflict with our families, our teachers and professors, and with all whose respect we would actually prefer to win. Think hard about this decision. Once you make it, you can never take it back. Once you’ve chosen the struggle for our identity, it will never again leave you in peace. You can never retreat, for you’ll never be happy until our country is saved. Brothers and sisters, this is our fate, our decision. For we are generation identity.
