I'm sure all of you have heard by now about the evil baby eating Ugandan warlord people are tweeting about. If you haven't, a group called "The Invisible Children" posted a video on Youtube about about how evil this one warlord called Joseph Kony isn't going to stop being a dick and that everyone should share it. The video went viral and now i'm seeing "STOP KONY" messages on my newsfeed every few seconds.
What these people don't know is that The Invisible Children are a bunch of lying bastards who are not as white as they paint themselves. Also, in completely unrelated news, oil has been found in Uganda. Removing a village-smashing warlord will balance the country and gaining favour with the government, and then maybe giving the US access to their oil? Where have we seen this before?
I'm disappointed.

Thanks for giving me some hands on info on what I already had a urge to express... I'm into politics in Sweden and there are no worse facebookers than politics, seen Kony linked around 15020 times... Hate when people suddenly care about something that they didn't because some documentary, yes awareness is good but being skeptical is even more so.

Fuck you guys. I like the Invisible Children and I endorse them because Thrice made a song about them!

I also support The Black Parade whatever that is.

Screamo rules!

Even without hearing the negative things about it- is it wrong for me to just not give a flying shit? I watched that documentary and all it seemed to me like was preachy propaganda. Okay, bad people should be stopped, fair enough. But when there is already things in motion to stop said bad people, what good is spamming the fuck out of everything going to do?

And really, am i expected to be moved by the words of some dumb kid who's literally being fed information as he's filmed? Just because he's kind of cute?

This whole thing can go fuck its self.

13 million children in the US go to bed hungry at night.

There are estimates that the number of homeless Americans may be around 500,000.

Humanitarianism needs to be practiced at home first.

Wrench if you think this is a big fat greek fucking conspiracy then maybe you should start posting more novel-length comics for the adhd that say absolutely nothing worthwhile. Skepticism should be reasonable not so extremely biased against the evil that lurks in the hearts of men or some shit that you basically sound like a teenager who discovered angst and the concept of anarchy. it's gibberish. it's fucking gibberish. you sound as bad as the ngbbs. you really do.

please never post a comic like that again I fucking hate you

Kony's fucked with tens of thousands of people and was indicted as a war criminal over six years ago. If this is how it finally catches up with him I have no problem with it.

AmberArachnidClock

Inivisble Children is just and advocacy group. This most likely won't be the end of Kony, but expect to see some more videos from these guys now.

Invisible Children and the Kony 2012 project has done wonderful things for bringing awareness to the plight's of the Ugandan people but it is hardly a refutable charity.

Quote from: WrenchClock;1898219~*comic

This is not right.

The United States of America is already well established in Africa and has been attempting to remove the Lordââ,¬â,,¢s Resistance Army and Joseph Kony for a number of years. Most of which is due to the expansion and extraction of African resources but that is a whole different issue.

A major problem with Invisible Children is that it is not working through American and United Nations forces. Instead, enabling the local armies of Uganda. An army which has openly used child soldier's in the past and may still be doing so. It is also notorious for its own abuse against the Ugandan people.

Getting back to IC: IC has knowingly manipulated data in order to create attention. This is not explicitly wrong, given their cause and is no less damaging than say An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. However, given their cause, misleading figures and manipulating information is not a foundation to build upon and lowers the charities credibility. Furthermore, only 31% of revenue received goes towards aiding the Ugandan military. The rest is put into creating projects like this and future advertisement campaigns.

Each failed attack against the LRA has lead to thousands of deaths and even more kidnappings. Such things have even occurred under US supervision. Charities such as this might seem commendable but are in reality quite dangerous. Warmongers and slave-traders should not be dealt with by tossing around pamphlet's, protests and spending this weeks rent on a foreign military with questionable values.
