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.

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.
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
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
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.

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.
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.
I feel like Pyongyang and I guess North Korea in general is like perpetually living in an Rush 2 NPC city on N64. You’re just lost in time. The world has forgotten about you. Forever forgotten.

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.

Creepy fact: They play that music every morning, sometimes midnight
Imagine hearing that constantly
for real?
Does the music have a name?
@@quasar7683 Yes, the name is "Where are you Dear General?"
@@guilhermesales185 yeah, on HUGE speakers!!
everybody gangsta until they realize the music isn’t edited in
it is, but it is music they play there. it wasn’t playing at that exact moment though
I really thought it was
😂
wait so is it live or are y'all trolling
@@madeleine8662 I think it is
I’d be the one mf stuck at a red light
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
And Kim Jung un said the U.S. had a depression issue...
And it does.
Astronauta de Jakku no it doesnt
@@seer4869 it actually does, but not as depressed as NK
Roasted
@Luke Skywalker japan has the most actually
fun fact: You can't live in the capital unless you're considered "trustworthy".
How fun
Kaiden LFC 😂
Goddamn
@Handsome Squidward fucking hell
Sad fact*
I am not religious but if there is hell, this must be it.
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...
Kim Jong-Un thinks he’s created a utopia but he’s actually created a dystopia. extremely disturbing and heartbreaking
Eddie Gooden well he seems to think his country is pretty amazing, which is just sad🗿 he’s proud of it
@@mentalillness3914 He carries the torch from his dad and grandfather he has to act prous and mighty his reign is at stake here. If he ever shows a sign of weakness or disatisfaction, that's one step closer to a general revolution. And I'm pretty sure he's gonna suffer A LOT if the population ever gets ahold of him. That's also why soldiers are so high in the hierarchy, to prevent a possible revolt from his only source of power.
keulloi He didn’t create a dystopia, he inherited one form his dad
@@TheStraightGod solution
Convince the soldiers to rebel
Obviously the mere citizens couldn't do that, but our brains have been programmed to be curious.
He haven't created nothing.
This doesn't look like a apocalypse this looks darker and more sinister. Extremely depressing
just replying so you can see the likes you have
@@sambettney3995 Jesus's didn't know I had so many likes thanks for replying n pointing that out!
@@sambettney3995 Good man
Yeah the word for that even worse thing is a dystopia.
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
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
A worse punishment than being sent to Bulgaria
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 😁
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....
Jaraka stewart wdym ?
No they don't, people aren't stupid
My neighbours needed to be sent to North Korea like fr, they're loud af
The government should play some 50 Cent, Guns N Roses or Cardi B songs. That will wake people up in the morning 😊
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 😪
This looks like it’s from a dystopian film
It is possible that the West will soon look like this too!!!
More like George Orwell's novel "1984"
That’s because it is a dystopian country.
North Korea basically IS a dystopia
Kim Jong-Un
Philadelphia does not look like this you imbecile. If anything San Francisco does
Math teacher: **says a joke**
the entire class:
These people are living in fucking City 17 from Half-Life 2, except there will be no Gordon Freeman to save them.
...yet
There's future Hitler among the Korean people that will liberate them.
@@parsleyisthiccnot even, koreans are simply c0w@rds genetically they arent like the
japanese or vietnamese who have the warrior gene to stand up to oppressors
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
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
i visited pyong yang in 2012. fascinating. i went with koryo tours and had a great time
If you play It's just a burning memory over this video, it fits perfectly
I feel like this place is an unfinished, forgotten, abandoned, simulator.
Abandoned, forgotten...
In Vorkuta we are all brothers.
PS: I'm not sorry, I had to do it

This video is more depressing than my test results
In case this is not sarcasm I hope everything is alright
Hmmm not my case
More depressing than my grades
reminded me of my exams on monday lol :
Ohhh shit that must be depressing
North koreans thought liminal spaces videos were so cool they started to live in a liminal country
this my new alarm sound in the morning, gives me the right feels to start the day
Fun fact:
North Korean society is divided in three classes:
-Comrades
-Suspicious persons
-Traitors
@@KimJongunSUBSNOW hey, can I come over?
Kim Jong un that’s suspicious
Not true
Allan Of El Salvador how much money for it 🤑
That isn't fun...
This city looks like the aftermath of a devastating apocalypse
Well, technically it is, their economy isn’t going very well..
It is in North Korea
Alexander Patton Yeah we know
Well it is no ones is allowed to leave or basically do anything with intrnet
Thank you Jon Ahegao
Eerie music, cloudy sky in morning, less people walking around. i feel like entering another world..
many people have reported that it comes from the pyongyang train station. not from the metro, but from the actual train station.
edit: i think there are also loudspeakers scattered around the city
