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!
Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel!
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
How did you learn all of this if I may ask? Do you have any recommendations on literature or learning resources that aren't just anti-DPRK propaganda?
I remember coming across some Chinese article years ago talking about the North Korean economy and actually went back and dug up more information about it.
In other words, it’s easier if you know Chinese, but even then not all information is accurate and some are quite sensational.
Gimme l'article... gimmeeeeeee... (Idc if it's Putonghua)
Here’s a couple to start:
