Summary

A misplaced public awareness campaign about a Ugandan warlord led to a nude breakdown in the streets of San Diego — the campaign known as Kony 2012 certainly contained multitudes. The tone-deaf creation of theater kid Jason Russell, it defined early-aughts political slacktivism and a particular style of post-colonial condescension.

The results were disastrous. ↓↓↓↓ SUBSCRIBE FOR $5 A MONTH SO YOU DON'T MISS THE SECOND WEEKLY EPISODE ↓↓↓↓ www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous Merch / Join the Discord Community / Find the Lost Episodes / Etc: http://qanonanonymous.com Episode Music is by Various Artists on Doom Chakra Tapes (https://doomchakratapes.bandcamp.com/album/ancient-structures) and Nick Sena (https://nicksenamusic.com)

0:33.8	It kind of pulls on your heartstrings by appealing to abused children in the way that's
0:39.1	very loud and angry without accomplishing much, the way it's fixed some drawing attention
0:45.3	in the way it's so more social media focused than actually solving any problems in the
0:50.2	real world.
0:51.2	All of that kind of reminded me of one of the biggest viral videos of all time, Coney
0:56.9	2012.
0:57.9	Now, if you happen to be online in 2012, you almost certainly remember it.
1:02.5	I mean it was everywhere.
