Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

You're looking at an event. That's not a crowd, it's an audience. With the majority in front of the stage.
Well yeah but I live in a city that has events too and usually the rest of the roads are not just shut down and devoid of people. Hell I'm not ruling out that I'm being ignorant and this is just some cultural thing but I'm just saying it looks kinda surreal to my eyes
you've been huffing too much anti-DPRK bullshit dude. There's like 1/5th of a block that's visible of street with no cars. I can find you 1000 pictures of events in the west like this. Seriously why do you let this seep into your brain so uncritically.
This "DPRK is weird and alien and surreal" line of discussion is orientalist otherizing bullshit and you know it, and you've heard so many Liberals repeating it which is why your mind jumped there in the first place. You've been programmed to have this thought.
actually y'know what I'm stupid, saw another article about this today and it finally clicked to me that this news story is literally about thousands of new housing units being built so this neighbourhood could very well be unpopulated at the moment. that might explain the empty streets lol (and also why this never happens in the west)
