Is that a robot? Looks uncanny.

It's Yeonmi Park, who fled North Korea and now makes money telling outlandish stories to overly credulous libs.

Such as that North Koreans have to pull trains from town to town, and that she saw children eating rats and rats eating children.

she saw children eating rats and rats eating children.

It was a circle of rats eating children eating rats.

Why the fuck would you pull a train instead of just carrying the stuff? That is the weight of the stuff plus the weight of the train :D

Thanks for filling me in.

Why do people use hand carts, rickshaws, and wagons?

Because of the construction of those. The structure in itself is leight so that the wheels have less friction and turn more easily than a heavy train which needs a power source like coal or electricity to work against that friction.
