Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks… wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they’re actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

    I mean could use a little more colour imo but defending themselves from imperial powers comes first over aesthetic building facades.

    also no gridlock, exhaust fumes, etc this looks very calm and confirms the notion that cities can actually be somewhat peaceful, it’s just cars that ruin it.

      Looks like an overcast winter day where all the trees have no leaves. Picture looks a bit desaturated as well.

      The city seems reasonably colorful when you look up and see the skyline.

        If it’s wintry for a good part of the year, keeping the buildings further apart would allow for more sunlight to hit the ground.

      To be fair their most recent buildings do have more color and also a lot more trees, although it tends to be only a single color. I wish I could link the images but I don’t remember the name of the twitter page that posted it.
