    I’d prefer not to be too specific, but lets say south-central. I travel to TPHCM/Bien Hoa somewhat frequently and I’ve been as far north as Ha Noi and Lao Cai. There is definitely a reactionary bias here. What region do you live in?

    I’ve had to explain what a color revolution is, and how they operate, to full-grown adults here. I’d love to be more optimistic too.

    I know being critical of VN is personally dangerous and also likely to tilt the mods here. Anyone here who doesn’t think a Viet ML, living in Viet Nam, doesn’t know how it is, I invite them to come learn the language and live here for a year and see for themselves.

      I’m in some rural area.

      I know being critical of VN is personally dangerous.

      It’s honestly depends. If you complain about “human rights” and all other Western cliche, then you would certainly be invited to a tea by the authorities at minimum.

      I lived here my whole life.

        LOL. Okay. Sure.

        The NGOs whine about that crap and nobody arrest them. That’s not why people here get arrested or harassed by police. Everyone here knows, you don’t?

          I have never tried writing a hit piece on Vietnam that somehow goes viral on social media, so maybe not. What then are you referring to?

              I was being serious. Yet you came here to troll. I’m very disappointed.

              BTW, “kredditacc” is just a username. Nothing more.
