Alright, I finally watched this.

I will say this, homeboy did a genius piece of marketing.

Mindblowing if you think about it.

There is no doubt it the guys responsible have done an awesome job, although god knows it has taken them a while to get it right. Apparently they have made almost a dozen films over the years.
For their efforts they shall be remembered as the grandfathers of slacktivism, enabling rich westerns to feel social empowered and they they are making a difference with a click of the mouse.

I like seeing hipsters with guns.

I mean, Web 2.0 activism is whatever. I don't believe a man should have the right to say that war is a necessary thing if he isn't willing to go and fight himself.

What's the story behind the white guys with guns? Did some hipsters really take a trip to Africa after watching this?

Those are members of the activist group that made the KONY2012 video posing with members of the South Sudanese military a while ago (well before the release of the video). The hipsters have been at work over there for a long time.

I came in to post this, this is the second time that I have heard that Ugandans were pissed off about the campaign. Its funny how they are the only ones that realize they are being exploited by this charity.

I can just see the headlines:

Online Seduction Forum Members Infiltrate Joseph Kony Protests

"You Just Know These White Hipster Chicks Are FREAKY" Said One

"I Haven't Seen Ratios This Good in DC Since 2003!"

Posters were supposedly incited to action by this photo:

The members in the states HAVE to get on this. I'll be eagerly awaiting a Kony Protest Data Sheet.

I was cracking up at the "ball so hard" picture.

It does look an awful lot like the previous US oil invasions. Create and publicise an enemy, invade for the safety of the people (allegedly). Stay and dip your nuts in that sweet sweet oil.

I don't know if any of you have seen the movie 'Zeigeist' but apparently the world banks/CIA/American Government have three stages in taking over the natural resources in a country...
Namely :
1. Try to corrupt government officials
2. Try to get the government to take out HUGE loans that they wont be able to pay back and then taking natural resources as payments if the government can't pay back the loans
3. Find a reason to invade the country and then proceed

If one of the steps don't work they just carry on to the next, Iraq and Afgahinstan are examples.
(P.S. didn't they discover oil worth billions of dollars in Uganda recently?)

Zietgeist is just as bad as Kony 2012. Full of lies, misquotes, and misinformation.

Are there protests going on around the country for this? Anyone gone yet?

Post: #69

As shady as this stuff looks, I do have one thing to defend the charity on. My housemate works with Invisible Children and he told me (no source o could be BS) that although the charity spends most of its money on wages, most of its employees are in Uganda. So more money ends up there than we are led to believe.

Zietgiest is a sham because it takes novel ideas of Franco and his brilliant archtypes and engineering and perverts them. Franco is not even formally associated with them.

Zietgiest is a scam because it simply pushes a technological dictatorship. Whom will run the 'supercomputer'? Whom will be the technocrats that run and maintain the machines... Exactly. Zietgiest foolishly believes if you abolish money all global problems are fixed. Its not that simple. Their solutions would bring about the same tyranny we face today. Instead of elites now controlling the majority of money+wealth it would be elites in control of the technology.

Plus Zietgiest has backing and funding from elite and foundation circles. It is nothing more than controlled opposition.
