This is considered the “good” life in North Korea. The traffic lady is considered well off because she has a job. Imagine the rural parts of the country

In communism "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us," they said in the Soviet Union. As a 'worker' of the Venezuelan public sector I can say that it's accurate, being aware that there is no such dystopian situation here, still plus than a third of the population has internet, although once it was more than 60%, it is getting worse.
In Belarus you see babushkas employed to pick up litter. Thing is, in Minsk, there isn't any, so it's a bit odd when you see them picking up what is, in effect, dust.
The song in the beginning perfectly resembles the country. It’s eery, majestic, depressing, and dreary. This whole video is life to them from the moment they’re born till the bite the dust. All the young ones in the video don’t deserve those lives but it’s what they have to deal with and they aren’t complaining because it’s all they know and will forever know. No one can leave and no one knows about the outside world. The dictator is basically their god and each and every single one is brainwashed into submission and conformity. It’s a real world example of the matrix or the book “1984” but it feels as real as them. All the old buildings and the empty streets feels like the whole city is in another dimension. The officer guiding the empty street even though there are no vehicles resemble how robotic and non-human the people are. The people lost their individuality, their humanity. The world is drab and grey. This is the world for them forever, day after day and there is no escape. Obey or die. The rest of the world doesn’t exist for them. Their family, jobs, home, belongings and dictator is all they know. So if your think that your life suck or you think that you have it bad, just think about this extremely dictatorship oriented country. Your country may have some problems but it’s never like North Korea.

The music is disturbing, the streets are literally empty, everyone looks depressed, barely any of the buildings have colour, they are probably told to not leave or they will get shot, watch Nas Daily's North Korea video, he says something along the lines of "its poor, and depressing, the streets are empty, they check every page in books you have carried, they even check all your photos in your phone after you cross the boarder! That's 1 minute, see you tomorrow!"
The "cleanliness" of the streets contribute to the eeriness. It's not just clean, it's absolutely empty. Desolate. Barren. Roads in our heads are always immediately accompanied by cars or other vehicles, so it not having any in broad daylight even with people in them just feels so.. liminal.
@Jefferson Mason lmao are you serious? USA helping North Korea? 99% of North Korea's problems are due to the trade sanctions that USA has put on NK. No country can trade with North Korea or USA just starts trade wars with that country and makes the that country and any company pay the price. USA is just using its big economy to bully NK and well anyone which wants to trade with NK. Only Russia and China do trade with NK rn.

My father told me that when communists were ruling in Czechoslovakia the cities were also grey, with no colour. Everyone was in fear. And now I see some 'muricans on the internet whine how they have it hard and hyping up socialists. It's making me disgusted honestly.
Exactly. These poor people are simply existing, not living autonomous lives. I can't imagine the amount of inner stress and anxiety living with no freedoms, constantly monitored knowing the slightest transgression can lead to your "disappearance". NK does not permit the rest of the world to see what it is really like there. Authorities only allow tourism in groups organised by North Korean officials or by approved travel agencies. An official guide must always accompany travellers.
Do you even think Nuclear war is even a threat to their average citizen? No wonder they risk their lives hopping their borders to SK while getting shot at by their own army
Oh god.....I fell asleep listening to something on my phone, but it kept playing one video after another. I was having the worst nightmare. The music in it really was freaking me out. I woke up and realized this was playing.
@PavPete, I thought about that, it’s just nature and very poor villages. Many people are starving tho and it’s probably the only place on Earth that is basically stuck in the 1300s...
@PavPete, Sorry I meant “Many people were starving” And minus the public transportation it’s basically 1300s. Just buses driving through 1300s south Asian villages. Especially the villages very far away from the capital is what I meant as well. And people are probably not starving 24/7 but they still go hungry from time to time. Much in contrast to their overweight dictator.
@PavPete You clearly don't know what's it in there like... When you go for visit they only show you good side but i saw videos from spy and there are even 8year olds kids that are eating trash to survive, north korea is terrible
The song is called "Where are you dear general" and it is played every morning in Pyongyang. But in this Video I think he overlayed it to make the video sound more eerie
Bro your like Justin y I see your comments in the most random places also congrats on a billion dollars legit in gta online I know it was a good while ago but that was extremely impressive, Bravo!!
Like Texas Gov. Abbott is sending illegal immigrants to New York, maybe we can ship off those US-hating college students to North Korea and let them enjoy the communism they so desperately crave.
I don't know why they don't just put a traffic light if having a still human is suspicious. And given the fact there's no traffic to control, I can only imagine the woman is being punished or some shit.
These people don't even know what the outside world is like. They could think the outside is an apocalypse full of dangers waiting to kill you, and that there keeping you safe there. Even though you are the one living in an apocalyptic like world, where the outside is normal
Minecraft good fortnite bad Maybe in the capital for the general populace, but not in all of NK. Near the border, videos of the outside world are smuggled in. That's why people escape, no? Because they *know* something better is out there.
That's exactly right. It's what we in the US will become under the idiotic lockdown policy. Mask is inconvenient but makes sense. Lockdown is the road to North Korea. When will the lock down be over? The virus will still be there. There's still not a vaccine for the 1918 flu. So what is the point?
Either the people there should stand the fuck up or stop reproducing. No reason to keep bringing lives into a total shithole. I guess the people are fine with it tho because they don’t know any better. Plato’s cave is what they’re living.
the people in the streets you see in this video are the lucky "wealthier" ones. The majority live out in the middle of nowhere, or on farms, nearly starving to death.
@@hamschh You have to be of a certain social standing and have official permission before you can live in Pyongyang. North Korea has more or less zero social mobility and a mere peasant from the countryside will never be able to live it up in the capital.
What makes it so scary is the unknown, the fact we know little to nothing about what’s actually happening in North Korea. We only know the people are struggling.

I don’t think that’s a plot twist, I think that’s just life everywhere.
Plot twist: everybody is actor in North Korea, including Kim, and the dictatorship isn't real

They don't even know about the outside world. 😂😂 They think we worse than them.
The music is disturbing, the streets are literally empty, everyone looks depressed, barely any of the buildings have colour, they are probably told to not leave or they will get shot, watch Nas Daily's North Korea video, he says something along the lines of "its poor, and depressing, the streets are empty, they check every page in books you have carried, they even check all your photos in your phone after you cross the boarder! That's 1 minute, see you tomorrow!"
When I mentioned "they check" that's when I'm talking about while they are on the train, the soldiers check all that shii its DEPRESSING!!!!!
wtf that's horrifying
That is terrifying

I have 12k photos and 1k videos in my phone. It must be a long time check for me 😪
All this talk of "creepy music" and horror movie like setting, but no one is talking about how clean those streets are.
The "cleanliness" of the streets contribute to the eeriness. It's not just clean, it's absolutely empty. Desolate. Barren. Roads in our heads are always immediately accompanied by cars or other vehicles, so it not having any in broad daylight even with people in them just feels so.. liminal.
Easy to have a clean street when nobody uses it.
This is the kind of dystopian hell we’re shown in stories.

No country can trade with North Korea or USA just starts trade wars with that country and makes the that country and any company pay the price. USA is just using its big economy to bully NK and well anyone which wants to trade with NK. Only Russia and China do trade with NK rn.

@@stonecoldsteveaustin9353 or here is an idea, USA should just keep to themselves and not fuck around with how people are being governed on literally another continent. The whole division of the Korean peninsula was because of USSR and USA couldn't keep to themselves and had to engage in proxy wars. And North Korea would have probably followed China model and well that has worked out perfectly for them.

anyone else think its strange this country exists? some real dystopian shit that isnt ending soon. it must be so hopeless to live there
Exactly. These poor people are simply existing, not living autonomous lives. I can't imagine the amount of inner stress and anxiety living with no freedoms, constantly monitored knowing the slightest transgression can lead to your "disappearance". NK does not permit the rest of the world to see what it is really like there. Authorities only allow tourism in groups organised by North Korean officials or by approved travel agencies. An official guide must always accompany travellers.
I live in the UK and I feel way more hopeless
It only exists because China need some space between them and South Korea

And this is from Pyongyang. Don’t even wanna know what it’s like outside the “capital”.
It's probably like about 1350. And I don't mean ten to two in the afternoon.
@PavPete, I thought about that, it’s just nature and very poor villages. Many people are starving tho and it’s probably the only place on Earth that is basically stuck in the 1300s...
@PavPete, Sorry I meant “Many people were starving” And minus the public transportation it’s basically 1300s. Just buses driving through 1300s south Asian villages. Especially the villages very far away from the capital is what I meant as well. And people are probably not starving 24/7 but they still go hungry from time to time. Much in contrast to their overweight dictator.
@PavPete It's not bad as people make it out to be. They just need to leave the country alone.
@PavPete You clearly don't know what's it in there like... When you go for visit they only show you good side but i saw videos from spy and there are even 8year olds kids that are eating trash to survive, north korea is terrible
The song is called "Where are you dear general" and it is played every morning in Pyongyang.

@@Mark_Lou Then what about the cuts?

The crossing guard directing no cars was troubling.
if she doesn’t she probably will be sent to jail same with the people sweeping up dust
It's all in her head
It’s because standing still for too long is considered suspicious
I don't know why they don't just put a traffic light if having a still human is suspicious. And given the fact there's no traffic to control, I can only imagine the woman is being punished or some shit.

Attack on titan style
Minecraft good fortnite bad Maybe in the capital for the general populace, but not in all of NK. Near the border, videos of the outside world are smuggled in. That's why people escape, no? Because they *know* something better is out there.

That's exactly right. It's what we in the US will become under the idiotic lockdown policy. Mask is inconvenient but makes sense. Lockdown is the road to North Korea. When will the lock down be over? The virus will still be there. There's still not a vaccine for the 1918 flu. So what is the point?

I bet even rats gather every morning to motivate themselves saying: "Keep looking, guys. There's gotta be some food somewhere".
the people in the streets you see in this video are the lucky "wealthier" ones. The majority live out in the middle of nowhere, or on farms, nearly starving to death.
@@hamschh You have to be of a certain social standing and have official permission before you can live in Pyongyang. North Korea has more or less zero social mobility and a mere peasant from the countryside will never be able to live it up in the capital.
