Kony is Overrated

This whole Kony thing is annoying me. I know that sounds rude or careless but I think it is just so completely overrated. The Kony 2012 video was actually made 9 years ago. One of the guys that was in that video is now in college and has a ton of friends and is so happy. Hmm it must be so hard to get out of there…oh wait, he already did and didn’t make it seem like a big deal.

I think that the Invisible Children Foundation is only in it for the money and publicity. Only 31% of the money they receive goes to the Uganda army (who uses rape as a weapon) and the rest goes to the company’s salaries. If you were really in it to be a good hearted person you wouldn’t need a salary. Missionaries are able to go to a third world country and help people because they want to, not because they’re being paid. That’s how a non-profit organization should be.
