In some places it is prohibited (despite the Vatican's directives)and in many places it is strongly discouraged.

Depends on how much you want to kneel, doesn't it?

I don't question that there are dissidents who do such things, but that is not the result of "vatican II" or the NO Mass. It is the result of disobedience.

I disagree. Vatican II and the Novus Ordo Mass have de-emphasized the Real Presence. When this is done, it makes it much easier for a priest to convince the faithful that kneeling is inappropriate. It also make the faithful less likely to challenge the priest who forbids the kneeling. Vatican II and the Novus Ordo create an atmosphere of ambivalence. I know this because I experienced it.
