Stupidity and pride can both be nouns. “Proud” can’t be used as a noun.
I know. I made a mistake. And I knew that I made this mistake before a stupid Prussian as you are told me it was a mistake.
You wouldn’t say “stupidity and proud”. Rather you would say stupidity and pride. It is June after all, a whole month of stupidity and pride.
“Proudness” would indeed make more sense than “proud”. You are welcome for the ESL lesson.
I do not speak English in my daily life. Never. I don't need this German language or German dialect. You are smart enough to criticize me because of superflous nonsense, because you know what I liked to say. But you are not smart enough to find out that "stolz" (=proud) and "Stolz" (pride or proudness or arrogance (Stolz, Hochmut und/oder Arroganz)) have in German nearly the same meaning - with an accelerating wrongness.
