Kicking off with the beginning of “Pride Month” June 1, German YouTubers Shlomo Finkelstein, IdiotWatch and Miro stormed the Twitter charts with #stolzmonat, a Patiot Pride month that involves rainbow-striped versions of national flags. They have now expanded their “Pride Flag generator” to include US, UK, Irish and many other flags! Make your profile proud!
Modern-day Germans are not known for displaying partriotism. Ever since Russian-speaking Chancellor Angela Merkel threw her country’s flag off stage with look of disgust, the world has known that Germans have a patriotic pride problem. Traveling through Germany today, it is easier to find a Ukrainian or gay flag on display than a German one.

So a gang of young meme lords and shitposters resolved to change that under the hashtag #stolzmonat.

Twitter-savvy users around the world were quick to jump on the Pride bandwagon, including from Ireland, Scotland and Texas.
There is a European wide movement ongoing via Twitter on national pride
The Germans seem to be leading the way
They’ve added the Irish Nationalist Pride Flag

The trick is to use a “rainbow” version of your national flag to create a Pride Month that includes all citizens of your country.

While the left-wing media defamed #stolzmonat as anti-LGBTQ, it is actually more inclusive than the “Progressive” pride month, says German conservative gay activist David Berger.
Let the Proud Memes begin!
