I think Kony comparing himself to Hitler proves he is a narcissist. That personality switching isn't spirits. It is a classic manipulation tactic to keep everyone unstable and too terrified to question him.

The political angle is a smokescreen. Kony wasn't a rebel leader. He was just running a brutal cult.

The host is right. Dismissing the LRA as irrational was a strategic failure. Ignoring the political grievances of the north is exactly why Kony survived so long.
