Water parks? Fake.
Skate parks? Fake.
Grocery stores? Fake.
Orphanages? Fake.
These are all there to please my mayo like complexion.
All the North Koreans are either enslaved, or starving to death, but they also have a great fleet of paid actors that pretend to enjoy going down a water slide. They actually use the water slides to transport bodies when the mayos go home. Why yes I gave several thousand dollars to this horrible gommunist regime, but if I didn't film these people pretending to use a library computer, the other videos of the exact same thing may not be as credible!
They didn't let me film the inside but I stumbled upon a generational genocide clinic, they were literally killing babies before they had left their mother's womb!!!!
People are broken by pop culture to think that there is no way you can have a "normal day" in a country that is not a western democracy. The idea of North Korean math teacher spending their day teaching math and then going home just doesn't work for them. The centrist position is that there may be some special few people in China who can go about their day without reporting someone to a government death squad, but never in the DPRK. It's weird.
To a liberal, people of the global south start at a state of subhumanity and can only reach a state of humanity by becoming sufficiently palatable to the west.
Because white people think every non-white person exists to serve them, which is true to the extent that white supremacy (western imperialism, etc.) has so much power in the world to do just that. They think that if North Koreans aren't working in sweatshops making stuff for white people then they must be doing the same for evil communist dictators or something.
