When you hear the original song, it feels euphoric,melancholic, and nostalgic. But you listen to it on that morning speaker, it feels like your in the end of the movie seeing the villain had won.
Bejli Çaushaj ... wait. Video games (depending on what kinds you play, of course) stimulate the brain the same way puzzles do! But yeah you shouldn’t play video games for like the majority of the day. Lol
@@XGamer-no1nk so you want the internet like north Korea? Where you doesn't allowed to make a joke and Doesn't let you tell Yourself? or you want RU-vid like South Korea where you free to express your self and make ton of joke that make Comment section full of color as long as it doesn't break the law
I think this when I watch Ukraine war videos. I could be a Russian Mobik sitting in a cold ditch waiting to get drone striked right now but luckily I was born in the West.
Chicago tornado siren just sounds like a tornado siren that smoked weed. Thinking of it that way is even funnier. But this shit sounds like it was designed to turn humans into emotionless terminators.
Thankfully I live int the part where Chicago doesn't get tornadoes often but a few of my family members do live where tornadoes happen and that shit sounds kinda scary ngl
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.
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
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.
Why isn’t there some game where you’re the only person in a huge city, and you have to unravel what happened to the people and why it’s so desolate and empty
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.
@@chickenoodle2602 That's what he already said. Do you often feel the need to correct people when what they said was already clear to begin with? Seriously, that was completely unnecessary.
DrummerJacob : they weren’t trying to correct people :/ they were just trying to clarify how things are. like an exaggeration or dramatization, don’t be hateful and rude...
I think I just realised what is happening at 2:20. People are bringing buckets of urine and faeces down from their apartments to a disposal lorry. Their buildings don't have proper plumbing or flush toilets.
Yes you are correct, the buildings there lack functioning plumbing for waste disposal so they have to take their waste to a tank truck and have it dumped that way.
@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
@@apina9731 there's a lot of traffic directors where i'm from but do they act like robots? do they still manage traffic in the middle of a goddamn empty street?
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
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.
Bruh how. Are we not seeing the same things because it looks like a normal city to me. Where are the torture devices and horror? What. Are. You. Talking about.
Elmas RobotAlien A city with a curfew and starving people looks like an alternate dimension designed for human suffering? Aka hell? The city isn’t that bad, you’re just making a whole chicken out of a feather. Way too blown out of proportion. For what you’re describing these people should be getting tortured on the street and dead bodies should be piling up from all the starved people. Don’t see that happening.
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?
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.
@@lelouchvibritannia1788 shouldn't have ever sided with commie fucks, now they lost so the world left them behind. They can join the rest of the world and have some of this delicious capitalism when they surrender and reunite with SK
@@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.
I wonder what she thinks working aswell standing there in the cold with clothes that aren't suited to the weather at all directing no traffic at all for long monotonous hours in a empty dark cold depressing dystopian place
Basically. It's less than 1% of the entire country. In the undeveloped slums, you have thousands of people picking bugs off the streets to eat because their infrastructure is nonexistent.
@@rionas8031 I think it's a take on the "*Insert Character* is a paid actor" meme. But since NK is the smallbus version of a Communist Dictatorship, no one is paid.
tbh the buildings are pretty cool. Much better than western modernist garbage. The music and the absence of cars on the streets really makes it look dystopian though. But I think most people just live their lives.
It’s so sad knowing the people there are doomed to live a mundane, depressing life and given a false perception of the world without having done anything wrong. Poor souls.
I know that you meant the citizens of North Korea, but I honestly think mundane, depressing, and falsely perceived describe the lives of everyone I know.
Imagine 30 million people know nothing about the world, they are not stupid or different but they raised like that they can’t imagine another leader they can’t imagine the freedom.
Aditi . Com Yeah they can’t use any other nations internet. They literally have their own computers, software, hardware, their own internet browsers with limited content (limited meaning you can probably watch/read stuff about their leader, that’s it.) there is no google and RU-vid over there, nor windows. It’s all specifically made for North Korea only.
Yes. I've read about it before, only people that have important role can live in Pyongyang. I believe the NK doesn't even have enough electricity to operate all those buildings.
Welcome! Welcome to City 17! You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I've been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown - welcome to City 17. It's safer here.
As an American who loves history, our relationship between our two countries was in my opinion was a formality to try and stop communists at first, and has transformed since into a true friendship. Many Americans consider South Korea to be an ally much like an ally in NATO. I hope it stays that way.
This video is haunting. I would absolutely lose my mind if i lived in a city like this. Imagine waking up feeling emptiness and darkness inside but then u look out of the window and the street looks like just how u feel-
Imagine if reincarnation does really exist, and u have to be born there, knowing nothing at all about the truth of the outside world, and believing all the lies that the government tells u about how great & magnificent north korea is.
If reincarnation exists, I would kill myself until I'm born into a rich family, than create a Switzerland Bank Account and steal all of the money, and keep screwing with life so much that I pretty much become a myth in the future
I read the description. If this is the “good” side of the country, I don’t even want to know what the “bad” side is like. My heart goes out to all the innocent North Koreans who did nothing to deserve the punishment of living in this hellish excuse for a country.
In a totalitarian system everyone is at fault. If u look back in history, totalitarian systems come in when people's will to fight is at its lowest. In russia no1 fought when communists were taking away ppl to gulags, they preffered to ignore the problems and close their eyes, other straight up ratted their family members or neighbours just to be higher. Truly sad, 100% the fault of the population.
@Rational PoC I've been to Iraq, considering that now they have schools, working hospitals, fixed bridges, clean water and an actual police force, all fixed, built, or payed for by America. So they seem to be doing pretty good compared to what it was.
@Rational PoC Considering ALL our own news media does is trash on our country every day, and all these people screaming about how horrible America is, while living in America, there is no America the great propaganda for us to listen to.
Rational PoC the American government does have Americans on a leash and a lot of us don’t even see it u tell them things like this and they’ll easily dismiss you
@Rational PoC if you can look at this grimy, backwards city and praise it in any way, you've probably fallen for the north korean propaganda. You don't need to be pro-USA to condemn this murderous dictatorship.
It is not that they cannot have cars, they actually have a highly developed public transport system in which individual vehicles are not necessary. Many countries would like a good public transport network!
@@iana814 Well, high-speed trains and long journeys, there are also buses that make long journeys. The point is, if in the West we have so many cars, it is because there is a VERY large automobile industry that they have to bill millions a year so that they do not go down, therefore, it is convenient that there is no public transport system bus because it would be counterproductive for the industry. This is a problem that nk does not have. Do not forget the pollution generated by both the construction of vehicles and their use, +1 point for nk.
@@cheeseninja3063 do you see any traffic there? I sure don't. She's dancing around in an empty street for no reason. That's a different kind of exhausting.
This is the best part of the country too you have to also take into account that the country side is probably fed 10x worse and no electricity no heating or ac, it is hell
@@harissuta1280 omg stop talkin sh!t. they know people live better in other countries, some north kroeans have illegal videos that show life in other countries like France for example.
it’s not that bad. my uncle and his family visited in 2011, very nice and friendly people! the N. Koreans have actually pretty good lives in some areas
Well, the people of North Korea are good and nice, because they're just normal people, just like you and me. The only difference is the way they have to live, which isn't good.
@@juggstar5613 Nobody said anything about the people there being rude or anything ... They are telling facts, there is hell incarnate in a country ... And people who live well, well, must be close to the fat North Korean ...
@@juggstar5613 Oooo. That's nice. I've heard that it's very strict and that you have limited places to take pictures. But I never really heard about the environment
It's sad when you look at the border between North and South Korea (which Is essentially a live militarized zone) it's not a border separating two rival countries. It's a border separating one country, from itself.
@@joshevans1550 when its done by stupid people like that yes. however lets take as an example my country Bulgaria when we had communist leaders it was a pretty well off country a lot of things were made and other countries trusted us and bought things from us. and most important there was PLENTY of jobs. right now slowly we re getting some progress back to that but most cities still have the whole just outside bit where factories are just sitting completely wrecked. the roads are might as well be driving through the field next to it it will be smoother. our populations gone down because anyone young and smart has gone to another country, loads of old people are barely getting enough money to live - for example my grandparents pension is just over €100 total for every month and on top of all that almost everything is coming from other countries so prices keep going up. and all that happened after communism finished because of greedy ministers trying to get more money. now they ruined almost every way of making money this country had communism can be good when its done right.
victoras18 Would you rather drive your toyota corolla back to your climate controlled apartment with electricity and food everyday? Or be forced to walk and bike everywhere because you can’t afford a car, go back to your apartment that may or may not have electricity when you get back to it, and not know if you’re going to have food to eat? Your choice.
I was thinking the same thing ahh, there’s even people who hate the regular citizens just because they live there and don’t have a choice. Like the world in aot hating the Eldians even though they don’t understand why
National Bolshevist Just because you have lived in a communist country before doesn’t mean you know what all communist countries are like. That’s like someone who has lived in a democratic country saying that they know what all democratic countries are like to live in.
@@TheClinchMagazine people like you think india is a dictatorship just because you don't like the government that hasn't done any corruption in past 5 years.
