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.
Pyongyang buildings feel like a game, it feels like there is nothing else behind those walls and we will never know what is behind the walls of each building
birds exist in cities because of the food we drop, making it easy to find it. The very fact there are no birds in North Korea goes without saying about the lack of life outside.
Every time my life gets stressful and I start worrying too much about school, work, or some insignificant stuff, I just go watch this video and it always puts my problems into a much-needed perspective...
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
Fun Fact: If you were in space and looked down at earth, China and South Korea would be lit up so bright but when you look at North Korea, it is complete darkness besides where Pyongyang is. South Korea is so bright that you can literally see the border in between the 2 Koreas.
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.
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
Feeling bad for that traffic lady officer ..she has literally nothing to do and yet can't do anything about it. boredom and isolation is a mental torture

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.
@@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?
I gotta say, this scene is rather beautiful. Despite the eerie emptiness, the mindless workers and the silent crowd, it gives a sense of tranquility. Knowing the story behind this scene though, it immediately becomes depressing...
The courntry is a prison with no roads and no freedom to escape to the outside world. Their country is like an Iron Curtian where they keep their people in.
James White The people in American prisons aren’t literally starving. They aren’t forced to inform on their peers weekly for ‘wrongdoing’ at risk of being sent to prison camp mines where they are deprived of all sunlight to the extent that they die from lack of vitamin D (if they haven’t had limbs cut off by then). The families of American prisoners aren’t militantly punished for 3 generations for speaking against the dear leader. There are many problems with the American prison system, but to make the comparison against NK citizens, let alone actual prisoners in NK, is monumentally ignorant.
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.
Quoting one of the comments here, this is eerie as heck. This does not feel like a country or a city from our reality or from our timeline. If you know or read the book 1984, you know what I mean when I say this is similar to some events in the book with its wake up calls, group rallies of people in uniform, and the poverty that grips the entire country, despite being said to be very wealthy and much better than its enemies. North Korea really is stuck in the wrong reality
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!"
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.
Hannah Sykes you stupid as fuck man it’s not gonna be a world war stupid ass😂😂 it’s gonna be a little war nothing major stop believing everything social media says moron
@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
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.
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

@@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?
I can see why a traffic guard is needed, the streets are very busy

Imagine that you have played through the game with a bad ending and you hear this song at the end....
I gotta say, this scene is rather beautiful. Despite the eerie emptiness, the mindless workers and the silent crowd, it gives a sense of tranquility. Knowing the story behind this scene though, it immediately becomes depressing...
It’s like the soul of the city was taken away, leaving behind a husk of itself.
That women turning around all day everyday for cars that will probably never come...
You mean...
The "Seoul" of the city?
Charon true
There never was a soul
@@noisycricket.10yearsand29 There was, before the dictatorship, before... *the Empire...*
The people in this video are prisoners, the prison just looks like a city.
Batman: North Korea
The courntry is a prison with no roads and no freedom to escape to the outside world. Their country is like an Iron Curtian where they keep their people in.
So, Incarceron?
@McJagger ehh American has 25% of the worlds prisoners despite having 3% of the world population and legalized endangered servitude in prison
James White The people in American prisons aren’t literally starving. They aren’t forced to inform on their peers weekly for ‘wrongdoing’ at risk of being sent to prison camp mines where they are deprived of all sunlight to the extent that they die from lack of vitamin D (if they haven’t had limbs cut off by then). The families of American prisoners aren’t militantly punished for 3 generations for speaking against the dear leader. There are many problems with the American prison system, but to make the comparison against NK citizens, let alone actual prisoners in NK, is monumentally ignorant.
I downloaded this as an mp3 and used it as an alarm clock. Please dont do it. Learn from my mistake.
What happened
@@mrwelshaviation_024 a feeling of existential angst
this gives me atmoic heart vibes from some reason
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.
The People ARE the food...
This is the kind of dystopian hell we’re shown in stories.
On some rapunzel type beat
Its horror music
that’s OUR propaganda
@@KRLAs
It sounds scary and creepy the people look depressed of this type of music it can make anyone mad to do a suicide
Its horror music
@@MM-br3gt Big Brother is watching you
it's things like these that make you come to the realization that, humanity's worst enemy and nightmare is humanity itself
Hell is other people
Quoting one of the comments here, this is eerie as heck. This does not feel like a country or a city from our reality or from our timeline. If you know or read the book 1984, you know what I mean when I say this is similar to some events in the book with its wake up calls, group rallies of people in uniform, and the poverty that grips the entire country, despite being said to be very wealthy and much better than its enemies.
North Korea really is stuck in the wrong reality
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
Border *
I have 12k photos and 1k videos in my phone. It must be a long time check for me 😪
The only traffic was old mate pushing his wheelbarrow
Ossie buahahaha lmao 😂
Ye mate
Careful with that wheel brooooo!!!! Ahh shittt
LMAO
Old mates got work to do, come rail, hail or authoritarian dictatorship, works gotta be done
nothing more depressing than this..
i visited pyong yang in 2012. fascinating. i went with koryo tours and had a great time
It was so creepy to see a traffic lady guiding no cars. It’s like seeing a cleaner pick up none existing litter
Noir right
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.
Gabriel Flaubert at least in Soviet Union uh Russia you can leave whenever you want I think...
@@PrincessTwilightdash ?
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.
If you ever feel useless, think about that police lady regulating the traffic that doesn't exist...
I hear you. I can bet she's thinking, WTF did I do to have this shitty job?
stan broniszewski Probably better than most other jobs in North Korea.
Nicolas G yea she’s probably living it nice compared to most other North Korean’s because she’s a part of the police...
Better than being a clerk on black Friday.
Just strange that we've had a electronics do that job since 1914
It’s strangely beautiful.
Honestly that music every morning is live there it's a vibe to me
Kim-jong un must be frustrated, because he hasn't been able to stop birds from chirping.
You just made me laugh :))
this line is from a chapter called the last lesson
Is this a coincidence
Birds are just a creation of the government, yo. Used to monitor our moves. They don’t exist in the actual wild, yo.
@@palpalrai9970 Eh, it is?
Just do what we did a few decades and douse our crops with toxins to kill off bugs and as a result making the birds die. Read up on the silent summer.
This feels almost like an end of the world scenario...
Or like the calm before the storm type thing........
cheesecakesss well hopefully world war three doesn’t happen soon bc that’s what it’s looking like from a political standpoint as of right now
Hannah Sykes you stupid as fuck man it’s not gonna be a world war stupid ass😂😂 it’s gonna be a little war nothing major stop believing everything social media says moron
Jesus Suarez you could’ve gotten your point across without cussing? Loser lmao
Bang yeDAMN no thanks loser 😁
This unironically sounds like something that would play in an indie game to convey crippling lonelyness and despair, why would they do this?
What’s sad is that this is the best part of the country
The music is not added. They actually play that every morning.Very creepy.
Sometimes at midnight
'1984' has become a reality in DPRK
Duar meme
They play it every morning and midnight except for sundays
Yes, Bibble is on fire. Stolen
If depression was a city
Matteo T true
What you mean if? We just watched it
lmao
Matteo T sums up Detroit or Louisville ky
What for is a city?
The government should play some 50 Cent, Guns N Roses or Cardi B songs. That will wake people up in the morning 😊
Even the mentally strongest person would become depressed if they had to wake up to that music every single day
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 whole country is like one of those depressing malls that are going out of business.
lmao best comment i've read on youtube
That is the legit best way to describe this video haha
Its horror music
Perfect description
King Crab No like gamestop going out of business
This looks like a time capsule from the past existing in modern times
There doesn’t even look like there’s color in the city. It just looks grey and... dead.
Ikr
Said the detroit citizen
Raphael Vasconcellos shit detroit isnt as bad as this
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.
@@JustAChinesePleb your father is just dumb and uniformed. America doesn't even have public health lol rampant genocide of black people
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.
That's would be pretty bad, now I'm grateful I'm able to write this comment, grateful for living in a good country.
@@albergc me too
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 hope only the worst karmas get to reincarnate in that hell
it doesnt
"Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to be relocated 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 have 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."
Imagine waking up to this only to go back to the coal mine. All your family is in gulags. You haven’t seen them in years. What an awful reality. North Korean government should be destroyed and its people freed.
The scariest part of this is that they think this is all completely normal.
They have an extremely limited knowledge about the outside world.
and no religion 😞 😭
no one I think that’s the least of their worries but honestly they deserve to believe in something right
Just like Americans....
