Now she and her family will be killed thanks to this video

this is r/mildlyinteresting at best

I mean, the guy risked “accidentally” dying in prison to film this, that in itself is pretty interesting

It’s like a big theatre, a whole country is playing … “country”

Edit: and no one red the full script.

It doesn’t matter if she knows what she’s doing!

She’s probably been trained for years (if not decades) to do these exact movements - to be a perfect official for the perfect state.

You can watch this drone do her ‘robotics’ - while a other people walk by.

This brain-washed woman is being revered by the powers at hand.

While the others… are just slaves to a fascist regime…a regime that the orange coming potus seems to adore!

Reddit is not OK.

    the brain geniuses in that thread are claiming the movements the traffic officer is doing don’t mean anything? Like it’s just theatrics to make it seem like the DPRK has a functioning society.

    Except she clearly does a hand gesture at the beginning that probably means something like “slow down.” She salutes too, possibly because of a passing military/police vehicle? Also I don’t have a Korean driver’s license and neither do any of them so why are they pretending to know the rules regarding driving around a Korean traffic officer

    everything westerners know about the DPRK is like a big spooky campfire story

      And they never want to even go one level into the implications. Okay, it’s all a big mandatory theater to pretend they have a functioning society. That takes theater practice, that takes instructors, it takes a construction industry capable to building all the “sets”, and of course it takes soldiers just off-camera pointing AK-47s at everyone, soldiers who have to be trained, equipped, ect. Speaking of the cameras, it takes electricity to run them and all the cities’ worth of fake lights, so that’s an energy sector right there. You also need enough real food to feed to everyone doing this vitally important psyop work, and everyone doing all the logistical work to make it possible. The propaganda around the DPRK is so far into the realm of mythical bullshit, and most people think about it so little to begin with, that it’s just this zone of feeble nonsense that falls apart at the slightest interrogation.

        westerners seriously believe the DPRK is doing a smoke and mirror show specifically to make westerners think everything is normal there

        except it doesn’t seem to fool anyone? Do they have an explanation for why the DPRK continues to do a show if no one believes it? There are like 2 or 3 serious DPRK advocacy groups in the west. The norm is complete hostility and threats of regime change.
