Most likely since they call themselves „Reichs Bürger“

Stolzmonat has nothing to do with reichsbürger. You mix up everything.

u/UnityJusticeFreedom May 30 '25

He asked if the Nazis did that. I said they call themselves Reichsbürger

This flag represents the stolzmonat. A month in which you celebrate german achievements, culture, and people. It has NOTHING to do with Nazis

Lies and propaganda. Stolzmonat has it's roots with a neonazi internet troll as a way to spread homophobia and other nationalist ideals and was picked up by the AfD to mock the LGBTQ+ pride month.

It has nothing to do with patriotism or celebrating germany (except for the nationalist ideals).

A real german patriot would never disfigure the german flag like this and make it a mocking of the LGBTQ+ rainbow flag.

Stolzmonat is a cover for spreading hate, propaganda and disinformation.

If it would really celebrate german people, it wouldn't aim to discriminate our LGBTQ+ citizens. If it celebrated our culture, it wouldn't be used to discourage democratic discussion with hate and disinformation. If it celebrated german achievements, it wouldn't try to reverse modern achievements like gay marriage, a livable wage and more.

No wonder that bullshit like this comes from a random account created just a few days ago. Fucking AfD troll.

Verkriech dich wieder in deinen Keller.

Bullshit. Stolzmonat is an exact translation of the pride month and the flag is also clearly a mockery of the LGBTQ flag. And it was initiated by the afd, right wing extremists, also called neonazis

But on reddit everybody is a nazi

u/Woden-Wod May 31 '25

it's not a Neo-nazi, it's parody of a pride flag.

there was a German meme during pride month a while back that was, "oh yes we are very proud of Germany" it wasn't associated with nazi's or neo-nazis in any way, it was just a joke making fun of pride.

u/[deleted] May 31 '25

Oh don't worry its not nazi-ism its just german alt right nationalism!

u/Woden-Wod Jun 01 '25

they're barely even that.

like they're leader is a lesbian married to a non-German, like they're still quite within the post war consensus.

Alice Weidel is a shameless grifter with a house on Switzerland cause she would never actually want to live under the homophobic laws of her party.

u/Woden-Wod Jun 03 '25

fuckin what homophobic laws? they're not banned from marriage, property ownership, they're not hunted in the streets (or at least weren't), I'm not even sure there's any restriction on adoption.

the fuck are you on about?
