Jason: "what do you mean shot?"
Soldier: _"they use the gun to shoot them."_
That was polite of him.
I was thinking the same thing lol.
lol yea wow
I was about to make this exact comment lol.
For a filmmaker, a man who's life purpose is the "shoot" films, and "shoot" the actors in them, this is a reasonable question.
This is a pretty common way to ask for precision about stuff???
"WTF was that video? I wanted to scratch my eyes out!"
Internet Historian: "Indeed, now here is the full video..."
WTF were those lazers? I feel like I’m back in the early 80’s pre Thriller video on MTV.
so weird man.
Not only that, but lied to me with the "skip it" timestamp so I still attempted to scratch one of my eyes out.
It’s actually from an defunct Disney 3-D attraction called Captain EO starring Michael Jackson lol. The song is “We’re here to Change the World”.
I'd do the same thing
a guy who likes musicals got the world to give a shit about a Ugandan warlord for more than 5 minutes... I think he did alright.
Damn. The real truth was spoken here
Wrong man at the right place can make all the difference.
@@JohnSmith-ox3gy fuck now I want Jason to be in Half Life 3
Wake up, Mr. Russel. Wake up and smell the memes.
I guess... except the whole thing was the DEFINITION of slacktivism. "We know how dumb it sounds, but we promise it will CHANGE THE WORLD."
What did he actually do though?
If Kony saw that music video, I think he would just turn himself in.
He’d die of cringe first, though.
@Blue Neon and that's how hentai was invented
lolll nice
Especially the Captain Eo skit
@@theflightguy8726makes you wonder 💀
What I love most about Jason is that, in interviews, he tells the truth but also said "But I can't blame anyone for thinking that" or "If I saw that person I'd say that too". Like he knows how to deal with criticism even when it's false.
Pix Tron
He seems like a sincere and genuinely nice guy, who was just in over his head to the extreme. I think that happens a lot with people who try to make large differences, they mean well but end up overwhelmed because they didn’t realize the full extent of what they’re trying to achieve
@@guaceldono7231 That's exactly it. They go in with all they got, trying to do as much good as possible, because who would oppose someone trying to be good? The intentions are pure. But once a campaign catches on and people start throwing money at you, just having good intentions isn't enough anymore, with people's money in your hands you now have to deliver results, even if you never asked for that responsibility. I guess that can be crushing, especially if you raise 100x more than what you planned to. Jason never claimed to be able to manage 20 million bucks, yet that's what was expected of him.

When you guys put it that way it makes me cringe when I look back on how much I mocked all that Kony 2012 shit. Like I thought the dude was just fishing for cash, but when I sit down and watch interviews with the guy he seemed to genuinely care about dem kids. He just didn’t have the means to accomplish his stated goal. If only he had picked up a rifle.
Ummmm it’s not false criticisms. You can have good intentions and still be completely incompetent.
17:11 "What do you mean shot?"
"They use the gun to shoot them."
Big brains all around in this conversation.
Gotta admit, I had a laugh at that point.
Stupid question warrants a stupid answer
Its funnier because the people in the previous place told him it got shot and he had presumably a while to think over what they meant
His question isn't "what is a gun." Could possibly disbelief. This might not be his first exposure to people getting shot, but it might be, and I dunno. And even if it isn't, he could be asking, "did they shoot the car up? Did they shoot up the people inside? Or just shoot at the car; did the people make it out?" Because that may not be what he said, but most people don't communicate perfectly. Just saying.
That Soldier was probably thinking "What the fuck do you think Gringo? The pointed their guns at them and shot them dead."
Listening the historian humming along with the song must be the equivalent of a soldier being brainwashed in a POW camp for 5 months. This man sacrificed his own brain integrity to provide us the Truth.
"What do you mean shot?"
"They used their Gun to shoot them....."
Imagine getting sarcastically mocked by Ugandan soldier in his 2nd language.
I dont think it was mocking so much, I think it might be that he wasn't too fluent in English and just thought he was using the wrong word to jason or something, or didn't know what he was asking or something like that
I literally started coughing blood laughing after that part, the soldier's face kill me everytime

Well, it could have been just hit a couple times, it could have been lit the fuck up, the car could have been wrecked but the people survived, or the other way around, etc. "The car was shot" leaves a lot of ambiguity.
@@LazyMaybe but he was satisfied with the answer of him motioning a gun?
That shit made me loose it
Also, shot can mean shot by a camera. That would need clarification.. probably.
I think he was trying to get at whether people in the truck were shot, or whether the truck itself was shot, he just worded it poorly.

In defense of Jason's breakdown, I have been there. I was 21 and a long haul truck driver. Way too young for such a stressful and lonely job. My boss pushed me constantly to drive well passed the legal hours I was allowed to be driving. One day I purposely crashed my truck in the desert of New Mexico and took all of my clothes off and proceeded to lose My mind on interstate 10
Damn. I hope you're doing good nowadays!
Can you explain what you were thinking at the time ?
@@placer7412 scared. I was full on believing I would die. I was stuck in the hallucination
I’m with ya dude, I was like 18 and I found out both my grandparents had cancer. Couple that with my dog having a stroke the night before, and going to work just after hearing the news, it fucked me up. One pizza got messed up, so I spiked it, started calling the person who fucked up “shit” and ran outside to cry. Super embarrassing but emotions are just something else.
This is fascinating
I wonder how Frederick Knudsen feels knowing he's in Internet Historian's will.
There was an episode of My Name Is Earl where essentially, due to the main character's innate obligation to fulfill the tasks on his list and the related urge to balance out the wastefulness and pollution of the people around him, he gets overwhelmed with the idea of where the environment is headed and how impossible it is to address by himself.
While My Name Is Earl is a glammed up TV show, that's exactly what I thought of after hearing of Jason's breakdown.
Duly noted
Full honesty: In 2012, I thought all of these people were supporting Joseph Kony.
Andre Moreau me too lmfao
"Kony 2012" does look and sound like a presidential campaign without context
Legit I thought he was running for President and I think I tried to ask my teacher if she was voting for Kony-
In 2012 I thought Ron Paul was a bandit outlaw with an army of child slaves.
I did too pretty much up to the point of IH's original video.
The only other thing I ever saw about it was the video of him running naked through the streets and the parody song that South Park made about it.

They also literally say they aren't qualified to fix this problem in the song wtf 🤣
The entire point was to sell merch
That in bad times shirt is unironically the funniest shit I have ever seen, oh my god.
Jason honestly seems like a really good, sincere dude to me. Just got overwhelmed.
And everyone thinks he's either a con artist or a joke
it seems he had good intentions but misguided, but that very reason can fuel any terrible situation. he so sloppy and didn't do things carefully only having a good intention doesn't make it any better it actually makes it WORSE because he was blind to his own mistakes and redflags
He was truly suffering from success
Like he said, they were hoping for a half million views, got 100 million, and all the international media that comes with that
well thats exactly what internet historian just told you, so well done....
@@DisentDesign so basically I can't agree with anyone
"We're going to sleep on the streets to see how Ugandan kids feel, only we're going to take big cosy quilts and sleeping bags along with food and drink"

Honestly the musical actually kind of slaps and you can see how much effort they put into it just to raise awareness for a good cause, all good in my book.
You do realize it's a copy of the Michael Jackson music video right? Just instead of space it's a Kony skin.
Look up Michael Jackson - Change the world and you will see they take a fair bit from it.
Slaps? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Getting slapped is definitely not good. So I’ll just take it as something fucking horrible, as that makes the only sense. No way does “slaps” mean something good.

This must of been what it was like when people first started using "sick" to call things cool. You could have Googled the meaning in the same amount of time that it took you to type your comment about not understanding what it meant. There's also the age old technique of using context clues to determine the general meaning of a word.
You have more journalistic integrity than most journalists, I think. I love how you analyze events objectively, with videos like your ones on No Man's Sky, Kony 2012, and the Balloon Boy.
Well that's what happens when you don't work for billionaires
@Grimbwald Hocklebottom so?
The no man's sky video was his best yet. I bet no journalist covered the inside story.
i wholeheartedly agree
Props to Internet Historian, but having more journalistic integrity than actual “journalists” isn’t exactly a high bar haha

Jason: "Well how about we convince you with DANCE"
It really felt like a South Park skit
The musical feels like something made by the Onion as a joke
Reminds me of early MTV........
It was a parody of Michael Jackson's captain eo.
Early 2000s kids media was weird
But it literally was a joke though. Maybe a bit sincere given their love for musical theatre, but the point was to poke fun at the high school generation. I guess.
Still less cringe than Hamilton
Damn Internet Historian really does his research for what is essentially a long shitpost on youtube.
is it really a shitpost then?
how is a meticulously researched and uniquely styled documentary a “””shitpost””””
It's in the style of a shitpost, is what the OP meant
well it's not "essentially" a shitpost, at its core it's a documentary with shitpost elements
It’s a well made and informative shitpost in the style of an interesting documentary.

Mundanne Matt "I'LL TAKE YOUR WHOLE STOCK"

The song is actually a parody of Michael Jackson’s “We are Here to Change the World” from the 1986 Disney film “Captain EO.” You can find it on TH-cam, actually.
Something that only just occurred to me is that, because the music video came out in 2006, he couldn't have possibly expected anyone to have caught the Captain EO reference, especially young people. Captain EO wouldn't come back to Disneyland until a few years after that video went out.
If they don‘t know where Kony is, maybe they can make him put up Shia‘s „They will not divide us“ flag. I bet 4chan‘s going to know his location in 3 to 4 hours after that.
If Kony was constantly streaming footage from a camera at his location, then yes, it would be easy to track him down.
I remember back when I first heard about the Kony 2012 campaign I went to school the next day and rallied a bunch of my friends around to come up with a plan to bring down Kony.
But there was 2 problems with that.
Firstly, we forgot about it the next day, it never got brought up again.
Secondly, we were in 6th grade.

Thank you for making this video. Your effort to clear a man's name was, at least to me, quite noble and effective.
I met Jason Russel once at a Christian convention before the whole Kony thing happened. It was for the bracelet campaign. He was genuinely concerned about the people there and I feel real bad at how he is remembered.
So that musical video is of the song "We Are Here to Change the World"...by Michael Jackson. What makes this song interesting, however, is that it made its debut in the Disney attraction "Captain EO", which starred Jackson as a space captain battling against an evil space queen, eventually defeating her and winning her over with the power of music and dance. The bit in this video where Jason and his friends zap their classmates with colorful energy to turn them into backup dancers is a direct reference to Captain EO, where Jackson uses beams of light to turn the queen's henchmen into colorful backup dancers. All this to say: Joseph Kony can now be indirectly linked to Disney.
director by francis ford coppola btw
That explains the guy dressed as Michael Jackson
It hit me recently that Captain EO was long gone from Disneyland in 2006 and wouldn't come back until after Jackson died in 2010. Pretty sure there weren't any uploads of the show on TH-cam at that time, either.
"We need to do what we always do; dance!"

My brother went through a mental break down during a stressful time like Jason, but it happened in front of me. back then i would have laughed along with everyone about him jacking it; but know i kind of get what the guy was going through and how impactful stress and not being able to talk to anyone about shit going on in your head.
Yo I'm ngl I'm pretty stoned right now, but that part where they turn teenagers into backup dancers with magic is amazing
i'm saying bro, i thought i was gonna have to skip the musical but it sucked me in i can't lie
it was actually cute when Internet Historian started humming the song. I mean obviously Jason achieved his goal.
“MOM! I’m trying to end a war!”
Heyyyy, that was shouted from my brother’s room every time he played Xbox during dinner time.
Was he in a MW2 Clans party while failing to clutch in S&D
Oh so your brother is the same as my f**king sisters
he must've been really enthusiastic about capturing Kony
Jason starting to hallucinate that films were "speaking directly to him" and various voices is not too "weird" of a consequence considering that, literally overnight, huge swathes of media entities began covering him directly, and people who were complete and total strangers suddenly went out of their way to converse with him at every turn. I'm sure most if not all of us here would end up breaking in the same way. Not to downplay the severity of what was happening to Jason, but to emphasize that nothing needed to be "wrong" or "bad" about Jason for a breakdown to have happened.
I know I'm late, but it genuinely does seem like the guy wanted to help. Like, he takes full responsibility for his weird ass stuff, and even says he can understand people seeing it the way they did. Like, that kind of shit is SO rare and it's something I can at least respect.

Something that's been really bugging me about this is how everyone just dog-piled on him during his meltdown and spread misinformation. I can't stand it when people pick on others who are at their weakest, be it physically or psychologically; it's cowardly and cruel, and it infuriates me. It's so easy to prod at someone when they don't have the capacity to fight back.
When media outlets and personalities don't have any source of legit news and headlines that really matter, they go for the one that can generate viral views and clicks regardless of if its true or not.
@@ferro1398 You realize that "legit news" is the same, right?
Is it important to you that a guy in another state shot 30 people? Does it affect your life? No, obviously we would go insane if we actually cared about everyone. We watch for our own entertainment or fascination.
They are putting things on the screen that people want to see. It is really sad that I have to explain this and that people think this is some new thing.
You are giving your attention to this stuff while complaining that the media bbn puts a spotlight on that stuff. It's like eating at KFC while complaining the entire time about KFC being mean to the chickens. They wouldn't be mass producing the stuff it you could stop yourself from stuffing your face.
@@draconianwarking Nobody said he was smart for having a mental breakdown. who are you even trying to argue with?
"More discipline" says the one that feels the need to act like a whiney little child without actually reading the posts that offended him.
@@DriscolDevil What I meant was not report fake news. Like what happened to the guy people attributing what he did with drugs that had no evidence. I think that was quite simple.
One person I'd like to know more about, actual info and not misinformation, lies and bullshit, is Jimmy Savile.
Lives his entire life without anyone saying anything bad about him, then he dies and suddenly people can't wait to slander and badmouth him hardly before the body even cools with +20 women accusing him of molestation and worse, all looking for gibs. What the fuck happened there? Are some of the things they were saying about him true? Are any of them?
I've had no fucking idea what to think about that, but given the bullshit and misinformation that gets spread around with any story I have yet to take any of it as truth.

There's something about the guy with the brown curly hair during the dance number. He just looks...photoshopped in some of the shots, like his head is moving independently of the rest of him.

You sir are a treasure. Very entertaining and just a (fairly) unbiased source of information, with no agenda about from giving people interesting information. You treat a very serious issue with enough respect without sensationalism. I feel it's a very Australian mindset which our wish our leaders and media displayed more often 🇦🇺

I really like how you are just as fair and in depth as you are cheeky and dry.
A year late, but I want to say something about the Mental Hospital. I've been to at least a treatment center sort of place, where they normally throw them for maybe two weeks. Worst week of my life. I get nightmares every so often. It wasn't even somewhere where the people were the problem. It was the sheer just surreal state of being there. You're watched 24/7, someone checks on your every 15 minutes when you sleep. Wake up at this time, eat at this time, go to weird group sessions. Today we're thinking about how to feel happy. Today we talk about how drugs work, sort of. The 'windows' are made of like a plastic you can't kill yourself with, at least easily. You basically just get the clothes you came in with and you can ask for a track suit at most. We started with 5 television channels, ended with 2. Trump got elected while I was in there... was weird. I'd imagine prison is *WAY* worse, but when you're wanting to kill yourself and you're forced to not want that. Forced to tell them what they want to hear so you can leave, on the whims of someone else. The law says you are a danger to yourself, so now they get to take you away and do what they want, when you've essentially done nothing wrong, and then foot the 2,000 dollar bill and end with the same state you started with... I'm not sure where I was going with that. It's bad.
May I ask what reason you went to a treatment center
I spent a month in a mental hospital as a teenager, it was definitely the worst month of my life, once I got out I said no matter how bad I feel in the future I’ll never go back to anywhere like that
My dad was in a mental hospital once
went to the childrens psych ward for a week. I actually kind of liked it, friends and stuff, doing things to take my mind off of everything else. It was a lot like a low security prison for me but it was actually a nice break, although I guess i'm not the kind of people that go back there 6 times over.
I think it's up to how they run the hospital. cause I believe there's a mental hospital out there that actually "work" for their patients. without force etc
That music video was BLINDINGLY Californian
Lol NO IT ISNT
It’s blindingly American
Mike McDougall it was blindingly Californian from the very specific period of Time between 2005 and 2012.

The musical was actually very enjoyable and finding out who helped direct it blew my mind
bro the dance sequence is simply phenomenal. i love every second of it

I would guess they broke up but I have no knowledge just a guess

She's with me now but I'm bored of her.
17:10 "What do you mean, 'shot'?"
Lol, he's definitely from California
Love the sympathetic approach to discussing Jason and the rest of The Invisible Children here
"What do you mean shot?"
"They, uh, used the gun to shoot them"
*BIG BRAIN*
When you are a reporter and filmmaker, 'shot' to you generally involves cameras, not firearms. Adding a potential language barrier makes it a VERY valid queston
Also he might've been asking whether the people were shot and killed or if they shot at the car (like the tires or something).

@@VanessaMagick The guys already knew what happend, and they are talking to the military about rebels. Regarding the context there is no way in hell the military guy would be talking about cameras.
But perhaps it was a good question to ask. You, for example, would still wonder to this day what he ment by "shoot"
@@solmoman Nah. When it comes to actual armed conflict, you probably want to be as absolutely clear as possible
Bruh your voice is like butter
I can’t believe it’s not butter!
Whoever does the Micheal Jackson-style "Oooh!" at 12:06 has probably the best impersonation of that sound ever.
Watch captain EO it’s what invisible children stole from Michael Jackson
My school was one of the first schools to get involved with the whole Invisible Children movement. I saw that whole live dance thing in person back in 2009 / 2010.

So i haven't gone and done it myself. but i have a lot of friends at a local church who have worked with invisible children back in the day. and granted the 30% model is... not great. i had a group of.. 10ish friends who ended up traveling to Uganda and they helped create a rehabilitation center as well as put in wells for a better cleaner water supply rather than walking 5 or more miles to a local stream or watering hole and filling up jugs there. and i remember fairly vividly that they got fairly regular updates about the wells, and how people were doing. how former child soldiers were able to progress and try to lead "normal" lives after living through all that trauma. and in the end some of them actually came to the states to our church to share their stories and whatnot. so. i will say that the whole kony 2012 thing was a crazy/odd pipe dream of a viral sensation. the outcome to actual people was not all bad. and hearing stories from actual former child soldiers and seeing how their lives changed is quite sobering to say the least. cheers mate keep up the great content
Ok git your point across but no need to write a essay.
The media hype and "memeness" surrounding it coupled with his breakdown definitely downplayed that he had good intentions behind his efforts. At least I think he did.
You know you're fucked when you need some people to fly from the other side of the planet to dig up a fucking well for you.
Thank you for sharing this and it's great to hear how even small changes can greatly help someone.

“Go downtown and sleep there...”

I remember jumping into the stream for this QnA, i shot the question about the Clooney Satellite. This was such a rollercoaster.
In the song they say"we are here to change the world" but then later they say "we are here to end the war" - This is on a creative commons license. Meaning that someone could sample this and alter it to "We are here to end the world" and make a fucking fire track with that as the backing vocal. I sure wish I was a music guy, I would do it myself.
Hey...did you know the upkeep cost of a spy satellite is....
...astronomical?

The musical is legit pretty good though, with the times in mind. Compare it to all the workplace/school song and dance videos you've seen over the years.
I liked seeing your behind the scenes stuff. :D
