    The importance of this moment cannot be overstated. For the first time, millions of ordinary American workers are engaging directly with their Chinese comrades, uncovering the lies fed to them by their ruling class. This awakening is a blow to the imperialist propaganda machine and a step toward proletarian solidarity across borders.

      It isn’t quite yet in the millions:

      Within the span of two days, more than 700,000 new users have joined Xiaohongshu, Reuters reported, citing a person close to the company. CNN has reached out to Xiaohongshu for comment.

      Allowing for a day since the article was published and for Americans already set up on the platform, it’s probably around a mil.

        700,000 is fucking peanuts lol

        Even one million is truly insignificant. There are 10x as many people who lap up US propaganda and would like nothing other than international tensions to flare.

        At this point, filter bubbles and algorithms are effectively weapons used to divide and destroy. How the hell are you supposed to change anyone’s worldview/beliefs when new information takes the shape of an endless feedback loop of your preexisting beliefs? They truly construct a false sense of a sedative reality
