    rural parts of North Korea reveal miles of uninterrupted green fields and stunning landscapes, where farming remains key for survival

    Imagine agriculture being a key to life....

    This looks super serene. What the fuck. Beautiful green fields in the distance, no billboards advertising useless shit. A row of cute trees lining the road. A dirt road at that, easier to patch up when it gets damaged through regular use. Everyone has a bicycle and looks fit and healthy. The crossing guard looks pretty tired but doesn't look like he's itching to put a gun in anyone's face, he doesn't even have a gun, he's just there to help you cross the tracks safely. I am struggling to see any kind of problem here.

          Everytime I see this it kinda fucks with me cause it just looks like a normal freeway town and everyone else is like "damn bitch you live like this?"

      the roads need to be paved with tarmac so it's accessible only to cars and the cop needs to have riot gear and an AR 15 in those protestors' faces then we're talking freedum

        how can you be trully free if your commute every day is just a really idyllic bike trip through green camps and not sitting in a car for 90 minutes through a concrete hellscape

    After months of cops killing, mutilating, and using chemicals weapons on protestors in the streets, imagine looking at pictures of crossing guards in the countryside of another country and concluding that they're the totalitarian dictatorship.

      A waitress works in a restaurant in North Korea where propaganda images are broadcast on television around the clock

      There's a tv on in a restaurant. Such tyranny.

      Deceiving? A staged scene appeared to be playing out at Pyongyang's main station, with passengers happily milling around despite an apparent lack of any other departing trains

      LOL

      Unseen: Dressed in identical brown uniforms and matching yellow hard hats, North Korean workers carry their equipment on a main road

      identical [. . .] uniforms

      In one of the pictures the caption was "Yes these two women are dressed nicely but many other people in the country are impoverished", lol I thought these were pictures the government didn't want us to see.

    While much of North Korea's main city seemed spotlessly clean, this photo reflects a more realistic side to the city life for many residents

    Photo: Dude just pissing in a corner under a bridge, definitely something you would never see anywhere else

    Risky: Michal captured the photos, including this one of North Koreans travelling in a bus, before smuggling them out of the country

    That's a spooky dictator bus

    What's fucking bizzare is that it's The Telegraph. Their target market is 50 plus year old middle class and upper class brits who want us to all go back to 50's Britain which, um, kinda had an awful lot in common with this photo. Bikes, countryside, loadsa people in uniform doing stuff like guarding level crossings etc. Etc.
