This term is often used on social networks, especially on TikTok, when some Vietnamese people compare it to other countries in a negative and biased direction.

This term represents a consistent group of Vietnamese people with extreme patriotic ideology, chauvinism, and ideology similar to fascism.[1] These people are identified as having communist ideals and are also nationalists, many people express the opinion that redbull people also have qualities such as racism, national conservatism, xenophobia and right-wing. What all have in common is a certain extreme.[2][3]
