north korea shows you can do things different than anyone else and still succeed against bad odds, as long as you are an actually free country.
I feel like this divide sums up the freedom that's allowed
wow, even the buildings. there's no lights on, it's not random. it's either off or accent lights
no THIS is what freedom really looks like.
In evil communist dictatorships most people are mandated to stand in front of the stage and only a select elite is allowed backstage
Do you think OP is presenting this street, completely full with people, as an example of normal pedestrian traffic? This is the inauguration. Nobody lives in these flats. The people on the street are having a party, following a plan by the party organisers, and then at the end they will move in to their new flats.
Most likely the party organisers have made deliberate choices to discourage people attending from watching from behind the stage, on account of how stages work.
what next? the buildings are made out of cardboard and the people need to push the trains?
And they couldn't afford a drone to take this picture, the crowd just had to get together to throw someone up high enough to snap it. Seventy photographers died before Kim Jong Un was satisfied with the white balance
