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-2

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

    Kinds risky to record video there. Also was the camera hidden within a bag (or something), In front of the bike?

    How can these people be so ignorant, this guy literally has a YouTube channel with tons of videos of him just carrying a camera into shops and chatting with the workers and going about his business, no one cares or even bats an eye.

      Yeah he has hundreds of videos, even ones where government workers commented on his camera and did a little smile and wave

        Honestly I feel like the reason why so many tourists are told off about their cameras is because the tourists are rude, chauvinistic, and act like they're at a zoo. Then the chauvinists back home claim that it's an authoritarian nightmare when people ask you to stop being an asshole

          Usually the complaint comes from western tourists or western viewers of other western tourists lol. North Korea seems to allow non-western tourists and students/employees more flexibility to go wherever.

          Plus the western tourists literally sign up for GUIDED tours and get mad they can’t travel to some military base or someone’s workplace lol. Maybe be more trustworthy or have a government that lets you travel to North Korea if you don’t want someone showing you nationalist views and having a strict schedule and area restrictions like every other guided tour

      The savage northern Koreans don't have internet though so his youtube channel is safely hidden from their evil eyes.

      He's controlled propaganda, just like this video which was obviously staged

      North Korea literally stages things for this person's YouTube channel

      And even if they don't, it looks wrong and evil
