As often, we are fighting symptoms rather then the cause.
If he falls, someone else just takes his place.

I remember the picture of someone posting this on Facebook saying how much they loved him followed by a bunch of morons commenting assuming that he was Kony because they're idiots who don't think
Kony 2012 is a perfect example of America's blame culture. They just love to be presented with "the bad guy" who is to blame for all their problems. To believe that there is one person to blame for everything that is wrong in the world.
He's black, looks military and is in the jungle.
Must be kony.
[QUOTE=zombini;39063128]Just took a look at his wikipedia page. Apparently he has 88 wives and 188 children. Busy motherfucker, i say.[/QUOTE]
If he has that many kids he'll die from some kind of new undiscovered STD before someone can find him.

Some of the titles were also. riddled with KONY 2012 and what happened to that one night where they said everyone should spam KONY posters and stickers and other stupid crap all over the place? what happened to that? Did everyone forget or didn't bother because of the negative media exposing their lack of actual donations?
To be honest, everyone thought this was legit because as the first video was shown, any reasonable person would be like shit this guys evil and such without really looking at the facts. Then actual news agencies and many others exposed what is really there. I don't know how much was donated or how many action kits they sold. And the whole bandwagon thing is pretty annoying.
[QUOTE=Fedalkyn;39062929]The bandwagon bullshit was rife here too. If you said anything against the 'cause' you'd get gangfucked by whinos screeching from their supposed moral highground and probably banned.
Also, Dav0r started the megathread, and it was stickied...
Tragically stupid times[/QUOTE]Didn't it get shot down fairly quickly here, though? Literally all I can remember now was the relentless ridicule for the campaign.
Or did that shift in attitudes go at the same rate as everywhere else?

Really? I found the video to be extremly sketchy. The style it was made with reminded me of conspiracy movies.
He strikes me as a Glee impersonator, not an actual human being. Fucking weirdo.
for the first few days I was all behind the Kony 2012 thing and then after those initial three days of bliss and social activism, information came out about how they're pocketing the cash and then that guy goes off and touches his willy in public.
Oh well.

Well maybe you should look into who you are supporting, I always look up these charities and such before I ever donate since my mother volunteered in one and corruption was fucking rampant in it.
the kony shit was fishy to begin with
To all the people saying "Kony was fish to begin with" It took a record 167 posts in the official thread for someone to call the video horseshit.
Whatever happened, the creator of the movement is a marketing genius to get thousands of people to put up and buy $40.00 "action kits"
I started to smell the bullshit when I noticed that absolutely everything about the campaign was out to demonize Kony. You'd think they'd focus more on the victims than the perpetrator, but no, just like a US election ad it's out to scorn one individual.
Great vice documentary on how the LRA are falling apart, and how they're basically no longer a threat.
