Okay, I just skipped through that very flash glitzy video and a couple of articles...
...so tell me if I'm reading this wrong, but basically are these guys trying to whip up some sort of public fervor with the goal of taking down some horrid African dictator?
I'm very unsure of this....

Essentially, yes. But there are more horrid dictators, more dangerous people in positions of political power and much much
much more efficient ways of bringing stability to the area. Joseph Kony is small potatoes compared to hundreds if not thousands of other monstrous individuals. The goal is to get all the slacktivists they can to bitch and and whine about something that they basically would not give a shit about otherwise so that they can pat each other on the back for a job well done when Kony is taken care of, which will only bring that much more instability to the area because he has a several thousand strong militia of child soldiers which will become a headless, guntoting, psychopathic little band of zealots fuelled by a bizarre pseudo ideaology. Invisible Children is basically a bogus charity powered by guilt and god fucking damn it that picture of those sons of bitches in the jungle holding weapons makes me want to cut them apart with a fork
tl;dr it's for reddit faggots to think they're helping when they're doing nothing of the sort
