This is the first post in my interview series. I know this is a very long post, but I’m hoping that posting my answers on Tumblr will make my preparation for investment banking interviews more enjoyable. Please be aware that this post doesn’t follow the outline post, but I will…

“Badvocacy at its finest: trumpeting a commitment to good food to sell bad food, instead of actually making their food better.” It’s one thing to sell bad food, it’s another to mislead the public into feeling good about consuming it. So sad to see what ‘big marketing’ has become.

The complaints about the finances of Invisible Children strike me as wrongheaded and a bit reactionary. That a campaigning organization has spent most of its money on campaigning is not a problem, and the idea that they should have used this money to somehow “directly” help people in Uganda is the kind of liberal charity-ism which gets in the way of thinking about problems as political problems requiring political, rather than philanthropic, solutions; in other words, this “criticism” replicates exactly what is wrong with Invisible Children. The problem is what they are campaigning for: “awareness” among people in the US leading to US intervention against Kony, which imagines the US (intentionally blurring the distinction between the US population and the US state) as a philanthropic actor, rather than a understanding the US state politically, as one of the central elements of an imperialist system.
