After weirdy-beardy man Shia Labeouf was arrested for assault, and his anti-Trump He Will Not Divide Us "installation" taken down, I lost track of it, as I suspect most people did. But not 4chan. I have supplied a number of links in which you may follow the anti-Trump monument's* epic journey from Queens, NY; to Albuquerque, NM; to a deep, dark hole in Tennessee; to Liverpool, Blighty. At every step it was trolled and shut down. :rofl:
Highlights:
The stream’s founder, Transformers star LaBeouf, had intended for the exhibit to last the full term of Donald Trump’s presidency.
The message board 4chan caught wind of the livestream and soon their best and brightest provocateurs began appearing on camera. At first they came specifically to mess with LaBeouf personally. Some would come up to him and hold Pepe signs or yell neo-Nazi slogans to provoke a reaction. LaBeouf eventually snapped on multiple occasions, and was inevitably arrested after hitting a guy who yelled “Hitler did nothing wrong.”
At the end of the night, however, police kicked everyone off the lot and installed a barrier. People were only permitted to go in front of the camera in groups of five and then leave. Some on 4chan joked the museum had built a wall and instituted “extreme vetting.”
The stream had to be moved from a museum in Queens to Albuquerque, New Mexico, following an escalation of “white supremacist” activity. Then gunshots drove the stream out of Albuquerque.
The stream was finally moved to an undisclosed location by Labeouf and the two other artists, Rönko and Turner, who intended to stay there for the duration of Trump’s presidency. The stream was pointed upwards to the sky to a flag that said “He Will Not Divide Us.”
The search began on March 8 and was immediately narrowed when Labeouf was spotted on social media at a diner in Greenville, Tennessee, although some in the thread still believed the flag was in the Great Lakes area due to wind patterns. The time of the sunset in Greenville matched with the time of sunset on the stream, and so did the weather on local weather reports.
4channers began looking into flight patterns. One of the few clues available on the stream were the contrails left by airplanes. Greenville was finally confirmed as the location after two planes observed on online flight radars intersected over the town and were seen on the stream.
Finally when three planes flew over the area, 4channers were able to triangulate an approximate location of the flag.
This area was too large to search unfortunately. The 4channers began looking to the stars, using ancient astronomy to help map the direction of the camera and pinpoint a more precise location.
The trail led into a field on private property next to some poor soul’s house. Tennessee based 4channers were standing by to capture the flag. After scoping out the area for hours they finally made a move. The anonymous group stole the “He Will Not Divide Us” flag and replaced it with a Trump “Make America Great Again” hat and a Pepe the Frog t-shirt. The flag pole was left barren on the stream all morning, until Labeouf and co. finally turned the stream completely off in utter defeat.
“Events have shown that America is simply not safe enough for this artwork to exist,” wrote Shia Labeouf, Luke Turner and Nastja Rönko, the artists behind the fraught and embattled “He Will Not Divide Us” in a press release.
That’s the reason the art project meant to protest a sitting American president will be moved to Liverpool in the UK.
Once again the artists claim this will be the home of the stream for the remaining four years of Trump’s presidency. This is the fourth time they made such a claim. Your move 4chan and 8chan.
For the fourth time, Shia Labeouf and co. claimed the “He Will Not Divide Us” stream had found a permanent home—and for the fourth time they were proved wrong.
The Liverpool, UK, location for the protest livestream has been compromised, with members of 4chan’s /pol/ board scaling the roof of the FACT center and attempting to tear down the flag.
Three guys were able to get on the roof from another building and made their way across to the arts center. They complained that the flag was heavily zip tied to the pole and could not take be taken down without scissors.
Police have been spotted at the scene of the FACT center. They were called when FACT spotted the trespassers. The police advised the art center to remove the flag and shut off the stream.

*If you can call it a monument when it's being moved this often. It's more of a Sisterhood of the Traveling Camera, at this point.

:rofl:
My only nit to pick was that if those Ukers were in a free country, they wouldn't have been hunting for scissors. They would have simply whipped out their knife or multitool and taken care of things. :)

Ben, I had the same thought.

Oh man... He's gotta be having a serious conniption about it by now....
Because he has to know that now, it's no longer about politics. 4chan/8chan is doing it for the lulz....
And they will never. stop. until *they* get bored.
One of the other posts I read about it was basically calling it weaponized autism.
And as long as he keeps trying to beat them, they won't get bored. And they won't stop.
And I'll be laughing at his sorry rants and raves.

How did Greenville, TN get involved in this? Seems like a very small, random choice. What am I missing?

Presumably, small and random is the kind of place they wanted. They were trying to hide the stupid thing. Didn't work! :laugh:

"I hope he moves it to North Korea."
I don't even know what the protocol for winning your own thread on the first post is, but I think you've manged it... That would be epic.
And then his dumb ass would be stuck there until 2028, assuming a Dem defeated whoever succeeds Pence.

Mr. Lebouf needs an intervention.
He's giving the trolls EVERYTHING they want, and I seriously doubt he's enough of an actor to be secretly egging them on.
If he'd have laughed about it and joined in on the fun, they'd leave him alone, because that's no fun to trolls.
Of course, given his original premise (Trump is the one dividing us?), his sanity is in question, anyway.

After a week, he's managed to triple his ticket sales from the opening weekend:

I wonder if he is in the least bit aware that his attempt at non-divisiveness has generated more divisiveness than Trump ever dreamed of.
Unlikely.

Unlikely.
My uninformed guess is that there are some on the Left who know that widening racial divisions is a part of their program, or at least they know that it helps them. I don't think Labeouf is one of those people.

Best game of capture the flag ever! :laugh:

This. Because at this point it's all for the lulz. And every time he loses and freaks out and throws another tantrum, it's like throwing a 5 gallon can of gas on a bonfire. It just feeds into them.

I'd really like to know if he understands that, or if he thinks they are all politically-motivated "Nazis."

This kid is a moron.
Start getting into the game. Post big pictures of places your aren't. Pose for photos with you smiling big when they find you. Give them some sort of prize. (Copies of your new movie that 3 people went to!)
You'll have more fun and they'll lose interest.
But of course, actors are SERIOUS people. Their art is important!

The Federalist put out an article just before the Finland thing was announced.

LaBeouf is as big a target to trolls as they come. He is wealthy, famous, and passionate about his causes. He has used his fame to provide a platform for his activism and has a history of getting into fights and doing bizarre things. He is the perfect combination of the kind of person a troll most wants to bait and the kind of person who is most likely to respond badly when baited.

You're trying to normalize nazi attacks on minorities like Shia Labeouf!! How dare you tell him to enjoy being repressed?!

Got arrested again.
Actor and perpetual /pol/ victim Shia LaBeouf was reportedly arrested in Georgia following an apparently drunk altercation with a police officer.
According to NBC News, police say the incident took place early Saturday morning when LaBeouf, 31, approached a civilian and a police officer to ask if he could bum a cigarette.
When the two individuals declined, police say LaBeouf “became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language in front of the women and kids present. He was told to leave the area and refused, becoming aggressive toward the officer.”

The following is not his latest art project. Then again, maybe it is.

I just love how his enlightened self was demanding to know why a white police officer would arrest a fellow white guy.
-
I hope he does time. We can mail him rubber frogs and maga hat.

Given that he's steeped in Left-wing thought (well, non-thought, really) he probably just assumed a white cop would respond well to that kind of racist appeal.

And it just keeps getting better:
https://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2017/07/11/video-shia-labeouf-tells-officer-gun-ill-your-s-up/
Shia screamed at the cop, “If I had my gun I’ll blow your s*** up.” but that wasn’t all. He said, “You put your own kind in the f***ing pen.”
-
Well, he certainly does have a way with words ...
Limited vocabulary, though.

I think it's interesting that he said nothing about the racial nature of his comments.
