This whole Kony 2012 movement cracks me up. I'm glad people are trying to help other people. This guy is a monster and should be killed, but the self-righteous overtones of the video are just too much for me. They really think that rush limbaugh is going to thelp their cause? They really think politicians care about the impoverished nation of Uganda. Poor naïve bastards.
Was there a recent oil or rare earth mineral deposit discovered that I didn't hear about? Of course not, so of course they don't care. Yes they allocated 100 advisors to train the Ugandan army to find and capture Kony. But if they really wanted to heed the people's will and stop this Christian they would have sent a battalion of troops or that Seal Team Six Unit to go in and wipe him out. We have that ability, the government just doesn't care. And I can't say I blame them. With all the problems in our own country we don't have the resources to run around the world solving everyone else's problems.
It also pisses me off that these hipster douches have to go to a foreign country to make a difference. Why can't they find a cause to support in America. There are plenty of evil people exploiting children here. There are plenty of starving, under educated children that need a meal and better schooling. But since they are in this country it's not cool to help them so nobody cares. Fucking hipsters and their manufactured charity.
This invisible children organization isn't the most respected charity either. Only about a third of the donations they receive go towards helping the kids. The rest goes to the maintaining the swanky lifestyle of the documentarians. Cutting edge tech and trendy clothes are expensive you know. Maybe i'm a cynical asshole. Maybe this is the documentarian's way of dealing with his white guilt. I don't know for sure it just feels like a sham to me. Like this guy is using these atrocities to jump start his career as a film maker. It is working tho, that shit went viral super quick, probably due to him using his son's cuteness to tug on the heart strings of teenagers and housewives. I give it a month, maybe 2 before people forget about this and the hipsters move on to the next cause they think it's cool to believe in for a little while. I doubt he will be captured this year. Unless oil is discovered in Uganda
Here's a wild one for ya, what if the Invisible Children organization is actually a secret arm of the L.R.A. What if Kony came up with the whole idea to raise money for his war. Guns and ammo are expensive you know and it's hard to raise money for a war with no real purpose, unless you're the US military. Most sociopaths crave attention right. So what if Kony came up with this whole campaign as a way to make himself famous and raise money for his child army? It's a crack pot theory that probably isn't true. But ya never know these days, the world is a fucked up place.
