The zine is part of The Patriot Playbook.

The year 2025 marks two grand milestones for Vietnam: the 50th anniversary of the country’s reunification and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Naturally, these historic moments have triggered a tidal wave of patriotism—at least on social media—where patriotic-style photos have suddenly become the ultimate expression of national pride. These carefully curated poses are now so ubiquitous across all platforms that they’ve practically become a sacred ritual for anyone hoping to appear sufficiently patriotic. Not wanting to disappoint my relatives—or risk falling behind the times—I’ve thoughtfully compiled a guide to the most popular patriotic poses. After all, nothing says “love for one’s country” louder than a perfectly staged Facebook post.
