Origin
On June 26th, 2018, Redditor KarmaCollider submitted the EU flag to /r/dankmemes in a post titled "Make the EU flag a meme so it's banned in the EU" to /r/dankmemes,[1] where it gathered upwards of 63,300 points (88% upvoted) and 730 comments within the first 24 hours.
Spread
That day, Redditor The3DAnimator submitted a Piper Perri Surrounded variation of the flag to /r/dankmemes,[2] where it gained over 1,500 points (97% upvoted) within 19 hours (shown below).
Also on June 26th, Redditor Allesmoeglichee submitted a photoshopped EU flag featuring a lock silhouette along with the message "This meme is not available in your country" (shown below, left).
