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
If Kony saw that music video, I think he would just turn himself in.
He’d die of cringe first, though.

@@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?
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."
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.
"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

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?

Also, shot can mean shot by a camera. That would need clarification.. probably.

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.

This is fascinating
"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"

While My Name Is Earl is a glammed up TV show, that's exactly what I thought of after hearing of Jason's breakdown.

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
That musical has somehow,, a surprisingly high and surprisingly low production value simultaneously
That in bad times shirt is unironically the funniest shit I have ever seen, oh my god.
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
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
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 UA-cam, actually.
Kids: *Legitimate questions and concerns*
Jason: "Well how about we convince you with DANCE"

is it really a shitpost then?
how is a meticulously researched and uniquely styled documentary a “””shitpost””””

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.
If I ever get embroiled in an internet scandal, I want Internet Historian to do the doc about it.
it was actually cute when Internet Historian started humming the song. I mean obviously Jason achieved his goal.
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.

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.

The fact he's singing along with the song is adorable
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 UA-cam at that time, either.
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.
“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.

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 🇦🇺
Thank you for this very thorough Q&A and for giving Jason real understanding. I understand he made mistakes- a lot of things, as you said led up to this. However, thank you for recognizing the pressure, scope and mental health issues that Jason faced, as well as some of the reasons for some of the odd videos invisible Children put out. There is always more to the story. I'm not saying it excuses the mistakes, but instead, it helps us begin to understand the complexity of these issues.

Exactly! It's like those movies you could buy at a mall kiosk where they take a picture and put you in a music video or children's story or whatever.
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.

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.

11:04 "We're not qualified" sums the whole thing pretty much up
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

Thanks for making the Kony video. Between this and the balloon boy vid are some of my favorite you’ve done, really opened my eyes on those events, i hope to see more videos like them in the future.
Also: if Ocampo watched this video, i wouldn’t be surprised if yo boi @FredintheKnud got offed, just sayin’.
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.
Met Jason at san diego like 4 years ago, really great guy, I feel bad for him especially what he went through mentally.
1:00 it is strangely touching to hear you say something sincerely and unironically.
"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).
ban ban
@@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
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 liked seeing your behind the scenes stuff. :D

Arty Theta ikr
let me translate what the ugandan soldier answers: 'shot with a gun you fucking stupid ass tourist'
Could be an apt question in the regard of whether it was bombed or sniped or gunned down from mid range. Asking the question to someone doesn’t speak English natively is the stupid bit tbh.
They shoot with gun you f**king Idiot
@@mischkin3588 seriously. "What do you mean shot?" Wtf else could that mean?
My school has an exchange student from Uganda whose father is a prominent Ugandan politician. Should I ask her about Kony?
What is the government hiding from us? *WE NEED ANSWERS!*
Yes
Do it and report back
Ask him if he knows the way.
Plopping in a reply just in case you do ask.
That was one of the most incredible music videos of all time. 💕
Such a polished creater and channels.
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.
Bruh your voice is like butter
I can’t believe it’s not butter!
you’re hilarious but also an incredible researcher and educator
i watched the music video in its entirety - but the only thing i could focus on was internet historian humming and quietly singing along to himself in the background. an absolute legend
Hey...did you know the upkeep cost of a spy satellite is....
...astronomical?

@@monkeykidd420 If he was told this joke I'm pretty sure he did
The whole "We need to arrange the books in my house in chronological order" thing was probably some attempt by him to see if he can notice any trends in the way humanity behaves to see if there's a pattern to the societies described in the books he owns so he can predict what the next generation will behave like.
Little does he know that, theres already a theory about that and its fully fleshed out and is easily googled.
Yeah probably doesn't really matter anyway that's delusions of grandeur
I can't easily google it
"We need to arrange the books in my house in chronological order" Sounds like something Twilight Sparkle would order Spike to do.
@@jbiehlable And also what a man suffering with delusions of grandeur would probably say............... yeah yeah i presume that.
@@sam432er5You have a point there.
I remember jumping into the stream for this QnA, i shot the question about the Clooney Satellite. This was such a rollercoaster.
I dunno why, but it's absolutely hilarious the way that he keeps saying "jacking it" and the manor in which he says it. The inflection combined with the accent is hilarious.
