My entire experience with KONY2012. I saw the headlines about Obama sending troops to Uganda months ago. I was mad, and everyone who I told about it was mad as well. Other than me relaying the information, most I know had no clue we had active military in Uganda. The other day I receive an invitation for a local march for KONY2012. I had no idea what it was so I googled it and watched the video. I was disgusted. Not at Kony or the L.R.A. but at the video itself. I was disgusted that a four year campaign couldn't muster enough support through facts, logic and personal responsibility, while the concept of activism was made into a bandwagon. What I gathered from Kony 2012, is that average joe is more likely to take up arms over a 30 minute youtube video based on lies, misinformation and a heart gripping musical score, one which he would never have done if his friends hadn't pressured him into doing so, than he would to save his own life, liberty and rights. It's disgusting the world we live in. This literally dealt me a philosophical blow that will take me weeks to process.
