East Africa has never stopped building its own public-opinion system. Ernst has a deep understanding of how formidable opinion warfare is, so even during the worst periods of East Africa's economy, infiltration of the Western discourse system was never suspended.
The Titanic was indeed an opportunity for a public-opinion battle. As a textbook "man-made disaster," the Titanic, built and operated by the United Kingdom, had its responsibilities completely shrugged off through media narratives, while the United States media took charge of hyping things up, painting American passengers on board, or American ships involved in the rescue, in tragic, heroic colors.
In reality, the sinking of the Titanic was absolutely nothing like the "beautiful" image portrayed by the British and American media, but the mainstream media in the United Kingdom and United States only selected comments favorable to their own countries to publish, and could even fabricate some information to muddy the waters.
