It's because someone finally made a moving video about serious shit that actually got the attention of some of our dumbass youth.

The Kony 2012 clip was just aired live on channel 10, it's amazing to see how fast something can spread now with technology. I just wished that people actually knew to research into organisations like this to actually make informed choices before they support it, rather than acting off something that uses scare tactics, and graphic images, to coerce people into action. (Yes I do believe Kony is a bad guy, but I'm not sure that I agree with the base tactics the Kony 2012 campaign is using). In the end, once a person has done research, it is their right to agree with that organisation or not, but the research does need to be done.

We may fail alone, but that is better than dying with them, only to be forgotten. I for one, would rather suffer now, than leave this life without passion.

Of course its going to dumb it down. Most people who share the vie probably don't even watch it all. If the didn't dumb it down even less people would watch it meaning it wouldn't get the support.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Are there a lot of problems with Kony 2012 and the Invisible Children charity? Fuck yes. However, do you see any other organizations putting out a decent and well put together video to inform the masses? No. Does it probably misrepresent some things? Yes, but what doesn't these days? It's drawing attention to a major problem. It's making kids who usually only care about texting and what they'll be wearing to the prom see that there are truly bad things happening out there that we don't know about. That sometimes we won't get to know about unless we dig.
One person against the IC campaign said that it was trying to solve the problem like it was black and white. Like Kony is the only person in Africa who commits genocide and acts of atrocity. It's a well known fact that countries in Africa and a lot of other countries in other nations have problems with megalomaniac dictators who are basically the worst of the worst. However, should we stop trying to raise awareness because there are a whole lot of other people out there doing the same thing? I choose to look at this as a stepping stone, the first step towards getting these bastards out of power and putting them in the hands of courts to try and sentence them for their crimes.
I only shared the video, and yes, I watched it, because I wanted people to know that this was happening and I want this guy to be caught. Will there be others like him? Most definitely. But do I hope that we will do the same and try to stop them as well? Yes.

Yeah. I don't really understand the people who take the time to complain about how stupid the people who are sharing it are, or how it's dumbed the whole concept down.
Do you know who would even be taking the time to look up the guy, or check their facts if they hadn't made anything? Who would even know that he exists?
