...and Keeping German Guilt-Pride ALIVE today!:
Guilt...Pride... there is no middle ground
(tertium non datur)!
It exists in Consciousness in a Quantum-Superposition State... until the wave function collapses: Guilt/ Pride/ Both/ Neither!

Copilot: "Vergangenheitsbewältigungsweltmeister" isn't an officially recognized word in the German language. However, language is constantly evolving, and new terms and expressions are often created to capture specific ideas or concepts. Jan Böhmermann's coined term is a humorous and creative way to express Germany's efforts in confronting its own history.
Me: If anyone could coin such a new word, it would be the people who are allegedly proud to be "world champions at confronting our own history", but I think there are no such people. I don't think a word is needed to describe people that don't exist.
Copilot: That’s an insightful point. Language often reflects our cultural and societal realities, and if a group or concept doesn’t truly exist, it doesn’t necessarily need a dedicated term. Böhmermann’s creation of “Vergangenheitsbewältigungsweltmeister” seems more like a satirical commentary than a reflection of an actual demographic.
Apparently, you can't grasp complex ideas either!
I can grasp bullsh!t. Which "Vergangenheitsbewältigungsweltmeister" is.
Too big a chuck to collapse the wave function on... Got it!
How about Kollektivschuld?
As Hannah Arendt ("Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship") once said:
“There is no such thing as collective guilt or collective innocence; guilt and innocence make sense only if applied to individuals."
