Every time I see a picture of North Korea I'm left stunned by how much nicer the landscape is to look at without advertising and sleaze covering every corner of the environment.

It feels like the moment a leafblower I'd stopped noticing outside suddenly turns off
Funnily enough that's actually one of the reasons so many people feel like there's something off in all the photos, or that it's all fake. Literally no context for what an industrial society without need for constant advertisement looks like.
It's kind of funny because people remark on there being heavy-handed propaganda everywhere, and they are kind of correct, but it's way less than the corporate advertising you see in the West and actually has an argument for mostly being for the public good.
If I could replace all corporate propaganda for propaganda that was reminding you to stay healthy and contribute to your community, I'd be happy
"Please don't litter"
“You cannot drive while drunk”
It's kind of scary realizing how conditioned we are to accept constant the noise of advertising
Do they think North Koreans just go to work and then come home and stare at the wall the rest of the day?
No, silly, they think the people stare at the government mandated photo of the Kim family on their wall
They literally have to go to the state barber every day to get the Kim haircut
And then be immediately killed for having the Kim haircut
