I'm a skeptic as much as the next person, but as a skeptic, I must look at the evidence and the arguments being made by both sides. As with 9/11 conspiracies (and most conspiracies actually), the arguments against Kony 2012 might seem convincing on the surface, but once you dig a little deeper, or apply a bit of logic, they fall apart.
It's not that there aren't any arguments that would convince me that Kony 2012 isn't legitimate; it's that all the ones so far are pathetic and easily debunked.
I'll go right out and say it. Anyone who thinks the Kony 2012 campaign is some kind of government plot is a moron.
Is it a scam? Highly unlikely.
Is it well meaning yet ultimately a complete waste of time and money that is going to achieve absolutely nothing aside from the defacement of properties around the world? Hell Yes.
