Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks… wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they’re actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

    This entire perception has to come from how western journalists are treated there. Yeah, no shit western journalists are given a dog and pony show because they’re not trusted. The DPRK knows western journalists only to there to make the place look bad, so why even let them interact with normal society?

      is-this the place where they drown dissidents?

      And you’ve gotta be like, “sir this is a water park”
