I met some kids of German diplomats once at a wedding, ages ago. It was a weird bunch that I thought would be outliers because I couldn’t understand how they could be expressing so much guilt for a horrible thing their grandparents did. Yeah, remember that for sure but there’s a point where it starts to look like either a performance or a very bad case of anxiety.

Is either of those a thing? Is what Metz is doing kind of like that?
