in bad country, citizens are required to queue for upwards of several minutes before going down the state-owned water slide

really scraping the bottom of the propaganda barrel with this one, huh?

citizens have to bring their own water and pour it down the slides while someone catches it at bottom. then they’re forced to carry the water back up stairs to the top to do it all over again.

The US has a long tradition of sketch water parks. One got shut down near me because a bunch of kids had tiny worms swim up their dicks and it gave them horrible bladder infections. I think, there was something with worms and dicks and kids getting sick, it was in the news.

The only thing that ever makes pictures out of the DPRK look “creepy” is really just that things are often made with materials that look a bit cheap

Which tends to happen when you put a country under a blockade for decades

And these pictures don’t even have that problem that looks like a very normal water park

I often see that from crackers, they complain that NK looks stuck in like the 70’s and gee I bet that has something to do with the fucking embargo the country’s been under since it’s inception like you said.

There also aren’t brands and advertisements everywhere, plus urban areas usually seem sensibly designed. Americans are terrified if they don’t know where the closest Taco Bell is.

Advertising fuck yes that’s what’s missing and I think that’s actually a bigger factor than material quality

Seeing brand logos everywhere is such a part of my daily reality that I didn’t even realize that was what’s missing

Hell, even non-brands have logos! We have logos all over the place!
