    Oh yes, I’ve also seen plenty of videos of nicely maintained places outside of Pyongyang. But those are Potemkin villages. The reality is everything is actually horrible, of course. God bless America, etc.

      Oh right, I forgot. All of North Korea is a big stage to put on performances and it’s actually all horrible behind the scenes. They’re all just such good actors and their set direction is so good that it is impossible to tell. Because uhh…they get put to death if their acting is bad I guess.

            That’s how cruel Kim John-un is. He builds entire villages by himself overnight but then doesn’t let anyone live in them and only uses them for photo shoots while the people have to live in invisible slums (which is awful, because when your whole house is invisible you’re always bumping into walls, another deliberate cruelty.)
