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!!!!

    it honestly would require almost no more than 20 minutes of "planning" to plot out a documentary film that presents the US as an evil dystopia. i mean, how many post-apocalyptic movies are shot with limited special/practical effects in one of our thousands of de-industrialized towns?

    like imagine taking some camera equipment to East Crankoil, Pennsylhio and walking around filming some long abandoned industrial complex. then you film the inevitable arrival of local police to climb up your ass for "trespassing" or whatever, and maybe have a B group off hidden filming the A group getting beaten up, having their phones/cameras broken, and maybe one of them gets shot. patch it together with footage of one of the mostly-closed schools where little kids are saying the pledge and doing mass shooter drills. can't wait to see the school library's computer lab. maybe some footage of whatever is left of the public library, and the people sleeping in their cars in the parking lot of the amazon fulfillment center built outside of town. and, don't forget to have the results of some water and air testing quality done.

    the final piece would be a plat map of the town and it's surroundings showing how 1-2 rich people who live in some world class city own 90% of the town's material resource base and how every position of power and decent pay in the town is held by a member of 1-2 extended families that have social or political connections to the owners.

    putting it in a coherent order and recording the voice over shit would probably take longer than capturing all the footage you needed. sub and dub it in a dozen languages and dump it online.

    then spend the rest of your life in exile getting death threats from armed assholes, just like a real documentarian!

      Well it's not like the US ever did a good job of hiding the fact that it is

        you don't think so? even some people here were pretty surprised that, if global wealth were equally distributed around the world, the average American's wealth would double. and we're all looking behind the curtain pretty regularly.

        I think the US has done a first rate job at propagandizing it's people and people around the world from knowing exactly how hollowed out the US is.

      Don't forget taking creepshots of random people and filming their reactions to call them paranoid.
