Tried to make something
If this was “good country” then they wouldn’t have a problem. They’d probably relate it to Star Trek or something, but because it’s the DPRK it automatically becomes sinister because it’s been labeled a “bad” country by their state. They probably say the same shit about Red Square.
Repost in a few months and say it is Japan
I need to introduce them to the horrors that is Almere
Lelystad is even worse, as someone who has been there
my guess is that the buildings are large so people can fit inside
I think the lack of trees does make it look a bit empty, but trees take years, decades to grow to full size.
Atleast it is not like this
Trees automatically make any urban space better.
I think the empty roads also plays a huge part in making the image feel uncanny
Maybe, but any Western sports facility or convention center and the surrounding access roads are also deserted when there isn’t an event happening.
Trees, bushes, etc also require quite some maintenance work which should be taken into account.
Guys please help me out I can’t feel as superior to these Untermenschen if they can still try new architectural styles after we flattened their country and murdered a quarter of their people I’m freaking out man
It literally looks like the futuristic city from the “the world if” meme
This version looks exactly like the dprk imageSo you’re telling me they don’t put pineapple on pizza in best Korea?
Looks modern, organized, and high-tech to my eyes. But I also live in the US, where it often looks like that image (can’t find it just now) of business sign clutter, haphazardly built up over time. So my standards are like, “Just don’t look like cluttered trash, please god, stop assaulting my brain with ads.”
I imagine this is a case of someone starting out with the intent to diss DPRK architecture and looking for reasons to do so.
it often looks like that image
This one?
Yes! Thank you, I think that is it.
speaking of being assaulted by ads… https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/space-advertising-draws-astronomers-opposition/
I saw this coming years ago. But still, reading this makes my blood boil. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also trying to find ways to put large screens on the moon’s surface to display ads. Fucking bloodsuckers.
I had to doubletake and check the date of the article just in case, considering it’s April Fools day here. But then, it really isn’t a shock capitalism would lead to someone trying such a thing. I think if it actually happens and happens prolifically, it would lead to a bunch of anti-tech violence from people who thought they could escape such things by going camping or whatever, and steadily become unfathomably angry when they find that’s ruined too - the sort of people who would make naturally good guerilla fighters too, since they’re used to roughing it. If only that’d scare capitalists away from it, but capitalism is not exactly known for being afraid of consequences of actions.
It feels so uncanny valley seeing the Jetsons try to come to life before our very eyes. George Jetson on that treadmill falling and going flying is the thing I always see in my head when someone falls down due to capitalism eating it’s own tail. Every day is weirder than the last, no? And then of course there are the slaughterbots I don’t want to think about right now
Pepsi attempted this in the 90s,and thankfully they deemed it too expensive.

literally pastel pink buildings in the background

It looks like something from a Command and Conquer game
