THIS IS WEIRD! | Internet Historian Kony 2012 Reaction 

Also, corrupt. Having a foreign philanthropist build wells himself circumvents the government, which would love to take a slice of the funds meant for those wells

When one man succeeds where entire governments fail, you have to ask yourself what's the government good for?

African politicians, proving every day that colonialism wasn’t really all that bad.

I think part of the problem is the real issue of labor used. A lot of the activist bring in outside crews instead of teaching locals how to do the construction so when the activist leave then the locals learned virtually nothing and if any issues crop up they have to pay for outside help again rather then being able to fix it alone.

​@@BaeBunniexcept that's what Mr. Beast did...

I mean there are legitimate criticisms, but governments love to complain when people do their jobs for them, because it makes them look bad.

I wouldn't say he's "well." Last I checked he has health problems, especially in the heart. To our knowledge, he's still out there and that sucks, but to keep up his hiding while his group is splintered and health in decline isn't gonna pan out for him.

So the reason SsethTzenetch uses Kony has his avatar is becuase despite all of the hype around Kony 2012 he never faced justice, and yes is still alive. Now his whole schitck is making fun of everything that's popular, but he does this because he worked for a pharma corps and became disillusioned over how F'd up the world is. Kony is alive... and well... you can add on whatever extra thing you consider F'd up from here, and that's where he generates his humour from. It's all gallows humour, you just need to learn why

Sseth doesnt, he uses a photo of Congolese military instructor Kongolo Nadiane, his current pfp is Robert Kotick who used to be Ceo of Activision Blizzard

​@@androzaniOh it's far better than that. Kony had diabetes. His corpse has been long disassembled by scavengers.

​@@androzani But he raped hundreds of kids

the best donation someone can give is knowledge mr beast was nice to give them wells, but in my opinion he could also teach the locals and provide them with resources as an upstart, that way they can provide for themselves in the long run

@rojectNah, that is just some Facebook mom BS. Do you know what people need more than knowledge? Clean water. You can know how to build a well, but without the hundreds of dollars or even milions in machinery and materials, you ain't gonna get it. I know because I know how to build a thermonuclear fusion reactor, and yet I do not have one in my backyard. A working education system is one of those things that cannot be provided and suistained by outside sources. Mr Beast could gift them 100 computers, and they wouldn't have a place to connect them, or the resources to maintain them. Besides, I am not sure if you noticed, but he built many of those wells near schools. That is how you promote knowledge, but allowing students to focus on school, instead of spending 4 hours going back and forth between the school and the well everyday if they want to have a sip of water.

@@JackDespero you are confusing knowledge with technology, my man just because you know something doesnt mean you need to have the tools either, you can become a driver without needing to own a car, but you can absolutely become a driver as a job also, not everything requires power tools and heavy machinery, especially a well, a simple shovel can give you one, teach them where water sources are more likely to be located, tell them how to dig, and everything is swell

Yeah, it seemed the way he answered that was that he honestly didn't know, he had ro rely on first hand accounts which thankfully didn't indicate it as true

"I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black". Cut to a few months/a year later, netflix loses the lawsuit to Egypt about how terrible that film was.

​@@kempolar9768No racism like """"positive""""" racism.

Jackity Jackity JackityJack smackity smackity smackitysmack

thats where I know that from.

Now I know what the episode was about 😂😂 I never got it until now

Same...

Which episode was that?

No but that's actually what they're referencing in that song

No we weren't, we literally didn't care if someone was gay. The last time it was generally considered "wrong" to be gay in society was the 1980s

@hemperoroftheholybri33...I remember Gay Marriages being a controversial thing back in the 10s. In the 80s, you'd either get beaten to death, or where thrown out and considered diseased since Aids was a major pandemic back then that was associated with Gay Men.

@@H3y_Im_Rob the debate around gay marriage had nothing to do with hatred of gays, I know that might sound strange but hear me out. So the issue we have is that marriage (in the west) is a Christian religious ceremony between a man and woman, and homosexuality is considered a sin, and you cannot bless sin, the argument shouldn't be for accepting gay marriage it should be for making civil partnership legally the same as marriage. Instead of forcing your own opinions on thousands of years old religious traditions.

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 then how did Jews in the west get married? What about Muslims? Based on your "definition" these people still, to this day could not be married in the US/West. Marriage is a tradition that PREDATES not only Christianity, but also Judaism and Islam, not something you can force your religion into. IN FACT, the earliest recorded marriage in human history was in 2350 BC (I wonder what that BC stands for huh....), but to you two humans loving each other and pledging to each other to spend their lives together does NOT COUNT AS marriage. Stop making your religion the basis for EVERYTHING when this country was built on the ideas of separation of church and state. Christians DID hate gays in America for a LONG time (see the fear/misinfo spread over the HIV/AIDS epidemic and more recently the way gay CHILDREN were tortured in Christian conversion therapy clinics) and it wasn't until ONLY 2012 that the supreme court ruled that you can't stop gay people from getting married. So, very kindly, learn some history. It saves you from looking like an absolute fool. And if you don't believe anything I wrote It's all just a simple trip to the library/an internet search away.

​@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 You could not be more wrong. Marriage is a tradition that predates Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The earliest recorded marriage in human history was in 2350 BC (Wonder what that BC means). Gay Marriage was ruled to have to be allowed only in 2012. And still to this day many Evangelical Christians in America see being gay as a sin, and a lot even go as far as to HATE them. (look up the Texas pastor incident in 2022) Even now we see a push from religious groups to marginalize a new queer community, the trans community. Instead of forcing your religion on my tradition that's over 4 thousand years old, try to learn some history.

Moral way to watch his videos now

@@TheEnabledDisabledYou know what? Fair point. As someone who doesn't want to reward IH, this is a fair compromise.

​@@theemperormoth5089 What exactly happened with IH that people don't want to watch him anymore? I saw something about plagarism but am I missing something or is that it?

@@leviHeichou He was found out in an expose video to take smaller creators' videos practically word for word to fuel his own without any credit.

@@leviHeichou Thats it but honestly HBomberguy's video felt like it was argued in bad faith rather than exposing him because he did a wrong If you look at bread's tube hatred for IH long ago you can see they all want to take him down by anymeans

Some Mr. Frog shit fr

I dont think so, I know the armed groups with children soldiers made it into the news before that, but I don't remember any awareness campaigns specifically for Kony before 2012, but its possible I guess.

I support your specific word choice "I consider myself. . ."

nope I reacted to it on stream months ago but never uploaded it to youtube. :3 but here it is now!

It was a presidential campaign. Ba-dum-tsssh

Listen here, buddy: Outer Wilds is fantastic.

@@Liesmith424 yeah I know. It’s why I didn’t want it associated with either Epstein or the terrible upcoming borderlands movie

​@@lenny_has_arived6679 ... so... so you chose the child forced to parricide and cannibalism video 😅

I even like that movie but that was cringe advertising. Like, "donate here so people can watch our movie for free" ???? Why not link up with a charity?

cringe activist musicals were all the rage in the 90s. I think it peaked at High School Musical though.

It's very much a political identity thing. Some social ideologies view charity as immoral because it's a choice by the individual and not a responsibility enforced by the people. In other words, the people who get angry about it want to see the social fabric of the nation fall apart and replace with there own ideas, and charity is one of those barriers keeping from that from happening. Either way, independent charities tend to be more successful since the people behind it are more passionate about it and spend less on funding, employment, etc. than government funded ones.

​@@androzaniAlso crazy black folks who think white people being nice is white people being evil.

Fuck you, I had forgotten that existed and you reminded me.

Someone in the chat during the video brought up this point, what solution would be viable because using charity money to kill people is kinda frowned upon. You can't just buy guns with the charity money and go fighting in the african jungle

I mean, sure you could. I'm not saying providing food and water, shelter, clothes, education, healthcare including psychological help for these kids isn't a good thing to do with the money. Only that there are more effective ways to spend it to alleviate immediate and acute suffering.
