Le sigh.... so much I want to say. But it would be borderline self doxxing.

I've been to places, very metropolitan places, where advertising is all but nonexistent. And it was amazing. Startling at first, but then mind blowing when you realize the harmony in the absence of treat propaganda.

I literally think about it every day.

Photos of the DPRK give me this sensation. They look empty at first, until I realize the only thing they're lacking is billboards, fluorescent signage, poster advertising, sign flippers, etc. Then it's like "woah".
