      That is not true, it depends what kind of trip you book, most westerners do not book trips to countryside or to other cities in DPRK, you are not solely restricted to Pyongyang, there is also a special booking you can do have a tour guide with you, a personal tour guide and a driver, so you can drive wherever you want well apart from military installations. But you cannot even do that in western countries. I mean in my own fucking country I cannot even drive on the mountains because apparently the mountains are restricted, LOL

      Norway, you cannot drive your car or snowmobile outside public roads or routes, because these places are restricted duo to the nature protection law.
      Also a lot of mountain areas are protected under Sami laws prohibiting people from entering these places because their raindeer stays there through the seasons.
      UK has even worse laws in regards to where you can drive or go.
      People act like DPRK is just singlehandedly most evil country because of this and that, and when you start looking in your own backyards the same fucking laws exist.

      *And all of these waves of defectors contents are propaganda to villainize nk govt.*
      The vast majority of defectors from North Korea do not have the awful and horrible stories that we are used to hearing on the news. The only defectors, and I'm only talking about a very tiny minority; around a dozen or so, less than 1%, are the ones with the worst stories who get rich and famous. *Since defectors who move from North Korea are often thrown into poverty when they move to a foreign country, there is a big incentive that they have to fabricate their stories in order to make a living in survive.*
      Those stories are their way of making a living. Obviously the vast majority of peoples in NK, just like the ones in the rest of the world didn't live any "adventure'. They live simple and normal lifes, with no conflicts or unordinary situations. *But those peoples fleed north koreea... And peoples expect sensational stories from them. When they don't have such stories, the result are lies and exagerations. Plus, the goverments of their adoptive country May make them say those things to help the anti NK propaganda. Last but not least, is for sympathy.*
      *And all of these waves of defectors contents are propaganda to villainize nk govt.* I have a good feeling that they are not telling the truth. Personal stories are not reliable. The CIA pays defectors to tell lies and/or embellish their stories in order to slander the DPRK, it's so obvious with all the evidence out there of this happening (I mean, all defectors are literally kept by force in ROK institutions for months before being allowed to go anywhere else, it's clear that *they're being trained on what they need to say to the press.*
      Most North Korean refugees that write books about it/are interviewed about it have admitted that they either exaggerated their stories or completely made things up. I have read her and other North Korean defetectors' memoirs. I do doubt every single word in these books is true. I know from some reports that defectors mails other defectos asking their stories to use in their book to make it more interesting to people. I have also watched few UA-cam videos where South Korean media asks defectors to describe North Korea more bloody and shady.
      Yeonmi claims she is human right activist. She has her UA-cam channel, but things she post here and on instagram are not so much in accordance with human right activist. She over-exaggerates for views because she knows how the media are when it comes to North Korea.
      *They are bs liars paid to lie and then those lies are used as justification to increase sanctions on the DPRK which then causes human suffering... These people aren't just liars their lies have real consequences which hurt real people.* Also as SirLGM said, it makes it impossible to even know what stories are real and what are fake when people like her just repeatedly make up shit for cash. It makes it more difficult to know what is true and what isn't since it casts doubt on all other stories.
      This tends to be a characteristic of defectors. You could see it with Soviet defectors during the Cold War who would arrive with lurid tales of how the USSR was attempting to subvert the West via cultural Marxism and how it was secretly plotting to take over the world. After the lifting of the Iron Curtain and the opening of Soviet archives to researchers most of this stuff turned out to be rubbish, at best having the odd kernel of truth. I guess its a good way of making money and fulfilling dreams of fame in the west; grifting from credulous right-wingers when there is no real way of disproving anything the defector says.

      The avg salary in north korea is about 22 times lower than that of south korea, mainly because of the people outside of pyeongyang.
      Being a bleak, backward, poor country, doesnt mean the daily life of the richest ppl in that country will include any of it. For ppl that live in wealthy areas such as diplomats or state officials, life in nk can be quite comfortable. But the avg person isn't one of those ppl (and even then, a lot of the pyeongyang citizens have fled the country over the years because living a comfortable life isn't as good if you can't enjoy any freedom)
      I'd definitely be interested in visiting the country at some point though, but I will also accept that most of the stuff i'll see is probably only one side of the medal. (There have however also been times where foreigners were allowed to see the rest of nk (besides that luxury ski resort or some other large cities) and they aren't all as clean as pyeongyang, but a lot more like the picture the media is portraying.

      @Ochieng Odugu not necessarily, you can care or not care about my opinion, I am simply a random guy on the internet, but if we take a look into what developed countries do/have done to be developed, we can see that north korea does none of those things, for example, it doesn't have an open market, it doesnt allow foreign companies to interfere in the country (unless they are chinese), most of its population works in the primary sector, contrary to developed countries where most of their gdp comes from the terciary sector, it doesn't allow anything that goes against the government therefore implementing much burocracy to any process, their citizens aren't allowed to go to europe or the us, places were technology and education is better making their country become backwards since it cant compete or learn from other countries. And many more reasons that make their country look worse, hey, they could all be millionaires, I dont know much about their lifes inside, but the thing is looking grim from here...

They are developing at there own pace but at what price? Beimg backwards make you an objective to developed country and they can come in and take whatever they want from you, or do you really think China is friends with them for no reason? They are taking the only thing underdeveloped countries have, all their natural resources, and they are not gonna be able to develop by their own without them.

China is not an almighty saviour that's here to help everyone, I get you can be a communist and I am no a neoliberal but for fuck shake, no one does anything for free, China is taking many valuable resources and the country is not growing at a rate fast enough (if it is even growing at all) to be able to live without said resources. And if they really were the strongest country in the world they wouldnt hide themselves and be scared of so many countries. This video IS propraganda, you are only shown the richest of the rich. If they where so great they wouldnt have any problem showing their country to tourists freely, not only with tour guides and army officials. But hey I am the brainwashed one... All ideas are open for disscusion but north korea does not show it is a developed countr. And another proof is that when you see North Korea with a satellite it doesnt have electricity in most of its country.

    Thanks for this very interesting Video. I want to visit North Korea as soon as it opens for tourists again in 2024. Regards from the U.K.! This socialist system sounds really good 👍

    i feel like they did an unbeliavably good job taking the whole sanctions issue into account.
    don't forget that the entire world is supposed to punish north korea forever for not bowing to the whim of the American government, and this situation must be brutal for North Korea and its people.
    and yet...
    they were able to achieve something like this...
    it is admirable

    interesting when you calculate the amount of houses around, how empty the streets are. its not a really bustling metropolis.
    The city seems more of a suburb.
    Everyone seems very old in the areas you are in, not mixed with many family.
    One question. no wages? only work for supplies?
    I don't understand. so you work for a bag of rice? confused me there.

    • @lupusrabbit599
      @lupusrabbit599 4 роки тому +8

      No , there are wages, they just call them "living expenses" instead.
      This makes sense since many of the fundamental needs are given for free, hence wages are called living expenses, money used mostly to pay for living expenses not provided for free, like leisure, etc.

      @WageSlaving2TheTop ! It's actually a well known fact that the entire northern half of the Korean Peninsula is actually a holographic projection conjured into existence by Kim Jung Un's supreme will, and that even the citizens are holograms to trick freedom-loving capitalists that communism actually works. Don't fall for the lies!
