ironically, it is way more FOTM and trendy to discount the KONY 2012 movement

I also heard there are 100 US special forces trying to track him down right now. Sending money will help nothing.

Its pure internet idiocy. An expert on him was talking about him today on the radio. Sure he is evil. Hes been evil for 20 years. I doubt he will be caught anytime soon and I doubt he pays attention to social media

it is definitely more hipster to treat KONY 2012 like it is Rebecca Black "Friday", just look around the internet. You are such an individual going against the grain by apparently being butthurt over a social media campaign that has turned this dude into a household name in 24 hours.

Probably really annoys you that it worked too.

Invisible Children has picked an easy target: Joseph Kony. Why stop there? More to the point, if this works, will it ever stop? Will simplistic explanations of long-running wars, delivered in a Facebook-friendly manner become the future of foreign policy? If the opinion of Rihanna and George Clooney is going to dislodge ‘technocrats’ who do things like read the Military Balance, then what’s to stop intervention in Syria? Pretty much everyone with a passing interest in military affairs says “that is a very bad idea and lots of people will die” but I’m pretty sure that a bright person with access to youtube can come up with a better argument for a brighter world in which taking Assad down is an expression of democratic empowerment. The point about war and military affairs is that at some point, it requires restraint. That restraint is entirely arbitrary (and unfair) but it stops people getting killed. If Angelina Jolie in combination with Condoleeza Rice are to dictate American strategy, then restraints to force will disappear into a blur of “Let’s go get the bad guy” activism that is almost entirely ignorant of the second and third order effects of those decisions.

don't get me wrong, raising the profile of the heinous nature of the guy’s crimes is awesome. The idea that popular opinion can be leveraged with viral marketing to induce foreign military intervention is really, really dangerous. It is immoral to try and sell a sanitised vision of foreign intervention that neglects the fact that people will die as a result. That goes for politicians as much as for Invisible children.

It's nothing but a pure globalist propaganda. The implication is to create a moralist argument for interventionism.

The LRA is currently operating somewhere between the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Combined with Uganda, those four states have him penned in. The problem being, pressure in one will lead to him skipping across the border into another. Unless Kony 2012 want state militaries to start walking across borders after him, that’s four pretty weak state governments that need to be considered. How much will their armed forces cost to bring up to scratch? The alternative might be to arm one, and let them play Texas ranger across the borders of three other sovereign states. I’m not using sovereignty here as a barrier, but it’s something to consider. Helpfully, the video excludes the fact that Uganda helped invade the DRC in the 1990s, DRC politicians are currently under indictment for war crimes committed in the CAR and when Uganda went into South Sudan to chase Kony, their own troops were accused of killing and kidnapping South Sudanese civilians. I’m no Africa specialist, but that sounds like a disaster in the making if one of them is going to be given carte blanche to go after Kony, if such a thing is possible.

we only seem to care when something is "trending", when someone makes a video that pulls at the heartstrings that a lot of people can identify with. The problem with this is that its not real political involvement, its slacktivism, and leads only to a warm and fuzzy feeling that we are ethical. I think that the people who go build the schools, that take the chances of death to go give much needed medical aid ( DWB)those are the only real invested individuals; not the re-posters (sitting in starbucks, reading the news on their brand new ipads). Occupy got people involved, but this KONY campain, in many ways, is maybe 10% real politically invested people and 90% re-posters who want to feel good about themselves ("I'm involved", "I'm political" "i care" "Look at me!". This latter trend is much more destructive than inactivity, its selfish and inauthentic; it makes us feel good about ourselves, but ignores the destructive influence we have in the world, and ignores all the other issues that are just as brutal. We should be disgusted by Kony's actions, but we should also be disgusted by the fact that WE, as global citizens, ONLY care about THIS event when we should always be disgusted about this stuff. Attention to the problem of child soldier armies and warlords fighting turf wars has been discussed and published with high frequency since the 80s, and we only care now? because this guy is somehow worst? NO, its the same as the charity bracelet of the week, we only care when its visible, and when we don't want to be seen to not care when a lot of others do... that is the true disgusting face of society. So if you want to make fun of us contrarians who actually see things for what they are instead of drinking the white guilt kool aid, then so be it.

Actually reality is an argument for interventionism. These people could use saving, but we don't "save" people who don't offer strategic or economic rewards that we want or need.

No, we go to war with Iraq and single out Saddam and take down one out of many (not to mention one that was funded and supported by us to begin with) so the knuckle draggers can pretend we're a force for good in the world.............and so that we can build bases and secure oil pipelines.

Meanwhile Africa rapes and pillages away. All of the outrage over Sharia law and none over the equally barbaric conditions in Africa.

I don't care about the Kony meme but I do think you're being a douche about it. Not that you're wrong...you're just being a douche!

Woah that is a lot of information from someone who thinks its just a hipster feelgood movement tenkly. And here I thought you were just as dumb as the creepy weirdo who heard a 5 min interview with some nameless expert on his local AM.

First thing I did when I saw the KONY 2012 was call Senator Inhofes office and Russ Feingolds Progressives United, to confirm that this group was legit. I did my own background checking... and decides I can get with this.

Sure 90% are armchair activists... But the 10% are utilizing the viral power of the whole accomplish this goal.
