In case you're wondering, Joseph Kony is still free today. His army has shrunk to an estimated 100 members and both Uganda and the US consider him a non threat. No one is looking for him anymore, so basically he got away with 30 years of child torture and war crimes.

@killerkitten75343 ай бұрын
The small scale campaigns Invisible Children is still doing are actually pretty effective on the ground. Their Early Warning Radio Network unites local communities, the fliers and local radio broadcasts and defection programs in the region keep Kony (and his son) from being able to exert influence over his commanders, which keeps the group splintered and unable to regroup. Chances are high Kony never saw the video himself, and quite possibly he never heard of Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt (though he & the LRA were apparently Rambo fans), but he and his commanders definitely heard & hear local radio broadcasts & find fliers in the bush, enabling child soldiers to escape. It also seems to have motivated several mass defections, one in 2012 and one (I think) last year, each of which significantly reduced the kidnapped women and children held by the remaining group. One of the larger remaining splinter groups is even reportedly in discussions of surrender. It worked, crazy as it was, at the local level. Whatever folks in Kampala or Montreal thought.

There were protests in Uganda over Kony 2012 because they believed him to be dead as well.

There's really no way to win when it comes to social causes. If you do nothing, then you're complacent. If you try something, then for every piece of support you get, there's someone trying to get in your way and tear you down. "Why aren't you doing anything?" Or "why haven't you solved everything yet?" I honestly understand why people just put their heads down and try to go on. That's what makes the people who actually try something so impressive to me. Douglass, Tubman, Truth, and many others all tried their hardest to work against slavery in the US. They had won, they could have stayed safe in their freedom. They had no reason to believe they would succeed in changing anything. And society at large didn't even really want them to succeed. But they did it anyway. I hope I have that kind of fortitude someday.

Tooting the horn about Kony enough could concievably have gotten certain governments riled up enough to make him a kill priority. Either Uganda and DR.Congo in who's territory he was operating in, mainly to end an international embarrasment, or a forreign government wanting to get the cred for having iced him. When that didn't pan out... what do you do next? That's a real question. They had enough money to kill Kony themselves but i think there are laws that prohibit a charity from becoming a PMC and i doubt Jason Russel is an Evgeny Prigozhin type of man anyway.

I guess the issue is that yeah maybe he is a passionate filmmaker. Thats a big red flag. If you're out there to find a story to make a film about then your priority in the first place was the film not the cause. It's essentially using these African kids as a stepping stone for his career. I'm pretty sure if there wasn't a glamourous story to tell then he wouldn't be making a big deal of the Kony campaign and would've found a different scoop. That doesn't read to me as a good person. Honestly comes off a narcissist. But it's just speculation. Still the quote stands "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Hes clearly put his face across the whole movement, with all the media attention and even a musical loool. If I remember correctly the video did mention he specifically went to the country searching for a story for a film. As I said before if filmmaking is the priority then theres major issues there. Also him standing by the issue for a long time doesn't mean he can't be a narcissist. He can truly believe the issue has legs and believe that it would make a good film with the cause being secondary. These are assumptions that neither of us can prove. Another thing is after all if we do assume that he is pure in intention it still doesn't change the issue. He caused a load of shit because he didn't bother to plan things properly. Good intentions alone dont save people. You have a tendency to say absolutely nothing other than “haha you're wrong”. I actually hope you can think more critically than that.

In case you're wondering, Joseph Kony is still free today. His army has shrunk to an estimated 100 members and both Uganda and the US consider him a non threat. No one is looking for him anymore, so basically he got away with 30 years of child torture and war crimes.

Well not exactly happily. Apparently the guy is pretty sickly.
"You're probably watching this video 7 years later because of a vague memory about Kony" Yeah pretty much
You don't know me.

Same. Kony pony 2012
i've actually never heard of kony and just clicked on this vid cause it's one of his videos
Mine was seeing a Call of duty commentary video on kony 2012.
"Everyone were up for pretty much anything to stop Kony as long as long as it didn't involve any practical action" This applies so well on so many of these "movements" these days
It's called "Slactivism"

I blame the internet; it’s causing people to do things by barely moving a muscle. For example, you can now order food on the internet, and I don’t mean just pizza.
@@yunabean Children are starving because we waste food, so you need to finish your plate so that doesn't happen!
the handbag that says "I heart Kony" is either a galaxy brain counterculture play or someone getting wooshed so hard that they somehow managed to miss what the people who missed the point thought the point was. Absolutely fascinating stuff.

TMZ has zero morals. We've known this for years, but only recently are they finally getting the pushback they deserve for always wanting to film or publicize mental breakdowns. For whatever faults that man had, he didn't deserve his lowest moment to be made public like that. I hope he's doing better now.
"pushback" today means a couple of dunces on twitter complains for a day or two, meida circulates the story to each other out of laziness, and then everyone forgets it in like 3 days.
Seriously I hate TMZ so much and immediately get a low opinion of anyone that watches it. Every person in that studio deserves a firm backhand to the face.

Exactly. People always asked, "Where is Kony". But nobody ever asked, "How is Kony" 🥺
@@CherokeeMaxx Lmao
Agreed, apparently he's still out in the jungle somewhere.
Honestly I don’t think he expected it to blow up as much as it did. Like the video mentions the guy had a few campaigns before that that kind didn’t do so well. So when this one exploded in popularity he probably wasn’t prepared. Handled it as best as he could tho given the circumstances imo
The small scale campaigns Invisible Children is still doing are actually pretty effective on the ground. Their Early Warning Radio Network unites local communities, the fliers and local radio broadcasts and defection programs in the region keep Kony (and his son) from being able to exert influence over his commanders, which keeps the group splintered and unable to regroup. Chances are high Kony never saw the video himself, and quite possibly he never heard of Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt (though he & the LRA were apparently Rambo fans), but he and his commanders definitely heard & hear local radio broadcasts & find fliers in the bush, enabling child soldiers to escape. It also seems to have motivated several mass defections, one in 2012 and one (I think) last year, each of which significantly reduced the kidnapped women and children held by the remaining group. One of the larger remaining splinter groups is even reportedly in discussions of surrender. It worked, crazy as it was, at the local level. Whatever folks in Kampala or Montreal thought.
That’s how these things generally work. Keep the pressure on the warlord’s supply of manpower and they’ll dwindle away.
Calling it "Kony 2012" makes it sound like a presidential campaign...

I heard of it when I was young, and for the LONGEST time I thought it was a presidential campaign.
That was literally the point of the ad campaign. It was an election year and they wanted to use the buzz to get people to rally together on a bipartisan campaign of making Kony as recognizable as Obama, basically.
This poor man had a stress induced psychotic episode and was humiliated on tv while someone else made $30,000 off his hardship

There were protests in Uganda over Kony 2012 because they believed him to be dead as well. He had Jaundice in 2006 so theres a very small chance he could have survived to 2012 Not saying the country didnt need help, its just the help was misdirected in a way that could be harmful, i.e. military intervention.

same here, he was trying his hardest and the media was basically spitting in his face the whole way. all the man wanted was to bring awareness so the us or any government might do something. the celeberty thing isnt even that bad of an idea, its defenitly weird but its been done before i just dont think hed really know the celeberties though lmao. its just whack because he wanted to spread awarenes and peope put all the responsibility on him.

A lot can change in 10 years. It clearly did. This poor guy was really trying to make a change. glad hes doing better.
There's really no way to win when it comes to social causes. If you do nothing, then you're complacent. If you try something, then for every piece of support you get, there's someone trying to get in your way and tear you down. "Why aren't you doing anything?" Or "why haven't you solved everything yet?" I honestly understand why people just put their heads down and try to go on. That's what makes the people who actually try something so impressive to me. Douglass, Tubman, Truth, and many others all tried their hardest to work against slavery in the US. They had won, they could have stayed safe in their freedom. They had no reason to believe they would succeed in changing anything. And society at large didn't even really want them to succeed. But they did it anyway. I hope I have that kind of fortitude someday.
'No good deed goes unpunished' isn't commonphrase for nothing. I don't say that to be or think it's as nihilist as it comes off either, just saying REAL change is tough and you have to be tough to make that change.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Hell, the dude is still out there trying to do the right thing. I would definitely suggest a more educated/active style of working toward a goal that relies on reaching milestones instead of getting immediate success. =Y
I remember at the time where people were saying that he did that so he could plea insanity if the police ever tried arresting him for stealing / misusing the donation money. I was pretty sure back then, and to this day I am still convinced that all of Kony2012 stuff was just a scam from the start.

Tooting the horn about Kony enough could concievably have gotten certain governments riled up enough to make him a kill priority. Either Uganda and DR.Congo in who's territory he was operating in, mainly to end an international embarrasment, or a forreign government wanting to get the cred for having iced him. When that didn't pan out... what do you do next? That's a real question. They had enough money to kill Kony themselves but i think there are laws that prohibit a charity from becoming a PMC and i doubt Jason Russel is an Evgeny Prigozhin type of man anyway.

He was rich, and this made him rich and famous. Save your sympathy for the less fortunate please and thank you.
I think the guy was just a passionate filmmaker who wanted to do something good but all he really could do was “spread awareness” in hopes that some people in power will notice it and develop a strategy to fix it. He never promised to fix it himself but that’s how it came across to many.
I guess the issue is that yeah maybe he is a passionate filmmaker. Thats a big red flag. If you're out there to find a story to make a film about then your priority in the first place was the film not the cause. It's essentially using these African kids as a stepping stone for his career. I'm pretty sure if there wasn't a glamourous story to tell then he wouldn't be making a big deal of the Kony campaign and would've found a different scoop. That doesn't read to me as a good person. Honestly comes off a narcissist. But it's just speculation. Still the quote stands "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Kony actually died of covid recently
@@valentin5960 Narcissism is to make yourself the center of attention. Its not off base to believe this. Hes clearly put his face across the whole movement, with all the media attention and even a musical loool. If I remember correctly the video did mention he specifically went to the country searching for a story for a film. As I said before if filmmaking is the priority then theres major issues there. Also him standing by the issue for a long time doesn't mean he can't be a narcissist. He can truly believe the issue has legs and believe that it would make a good film with the cause being secondary. These are assumptions that neither of us can prove. Another thing is after all if we do assume that he is pure in intention it still doesn't change the issue. He caused a load of shit because he didn't bother to plan things properly. Good intentions alone dont save people. You have a tendency to say absolutely nothing other than “haha you're wrong”. I actually hope you can think more critically than that.

On my gad, they killed kony
I remember this, he came to our high school. Sure enough it was a lot of hype with no actual solution. I vaguely remember they wanted to fundraise and if you raised the most and enough you would get sent on a paid trip to Uganda. My only thought was, "Wait, you want to send us to the war zone you're talking about?"
Don't worry; they would have armed you. Please tell me he danced for your school.
Kony came to your high school and you didn't capture him wtf now he's still on the loose
Marco Cruz gg
+PeanutButterZombie00 Armed them with posters, flyers, and their own delusional incompetence, that is.
@@PeanutButterZombie00 haha no just showed a really inspirational video and asked us to fundraise.
Whatever dude, just don't blame me when you're jacking it in San Diego.
Thanks Soup for the reminder of this
Oh God I'm cringing so hard just thinking about 16 year old me proudly showing the Kony video to my teacher and classmates back in 2012...I actually thought I was doing something good...
It's okay, as long as you donate to the LRA and balance out the bad you did, all will be fine
In times like these Im glad for my social apathy and never falling for this kind of stuff or paying attention to charities.
Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!
You were. You raised awareness for genuine children in crisis who needed help. Even if the specific organisation being supported had poor planning and leadership there was still an issue that needed funding for employment of Ugandan people to fight the issue and protect those children. Shits hard, but I don’t think bringing attention to this was a bad thing.
2012 was really the year virtue signaling became a mainstream thing. I remember posters being hungup all around my high-school but if you actually stopped and asked someone who Kony was or why we need to stop him you would get a blank stare or maybe a "Well he's a bad man in Africa" response. No one cared beyond the surface level of fitting in and feeling good about themselves.
The dance scene looks like something out of Zoolander
QrangeJuice Or South Park
Omg I think it’s based off high school musical
I just realized, I watched this video for the 3rd time probably over the years and am still laughing to tears every time. One of the funniest videos on this platform. Tangent #2 omg, still coughing :D
