    They already have it. With some oligarchs running social and classic media. There is no need to build a real wall if 98% are already living in self-imposed cages.

      Oh yea, I literally witnessed this.

      My parents and I are from PRC, and to this day, they still mainly consume Chinese media. And when smartphones became popular, the first thing they did (well not literally the first thing, but you get the point), was install Wechat, and many years later, they are mostly browsing WeChat every day. Even my mother, who speaks English (well enough to become a US Citizen), still only consume mainly Chinese media. When she uses Youtube, its to watch Chinese TV Drama. All the news come from WeChat. Even the US far-right propaganda that’s handpicked by the CCP. She just constantly spews “dEmOcRaTs aRe rUiniNG NYC”, something something… “miGRaNT cRiSiS”. We don’t even live in NYC anymore, wtf lol.

      So yea, Americans seems to be very similar. Everyone just go on Instagram, Twitter 🤮, Facebook (who the fuck even use that anymore). And even the redditors are like “Lemmy is too ‘complicated’, I’ll just stick with this corporate controlled platform and boot-lick”.

      So yea, seem like the US doesn’t need to do anything.

      😓
