On the day of President Trumps inauguration, two poorly understood forces of the Internet collided in a sort of bizarre death lock a struggle that has manifested in the real world as Nazi-costumed dances in New York, a meticulously planned theft in rural Tennessee and last month, a raid on a British rooftop.
These forces are called 4chan and Shia LaBeouf.
LaBeouf is a Hollywood star who recently restyled himself as a highly meme-able performance artist limiting his public utterances to a string of repeat tweets, for example, or showing up to a film festival with a paper bag on his head.
4chan is the magmatic underworld of the Internet: an anonymous forum whose millions of users gave the world the delights of Rickrolling, the misogyny of Gamergate and the corruption of Pepe the Frog.
Lately, 4chans vast energies have been spent disrupting a single webcam. LaBeoufs art group installed the camera outside a museum in New York on Jan. 20, inviting the public to join the star in chanting: He will not divide us he will not divide us.
He Will Not Divide Us was supposed to last the duration of Trumps first term....

Definitely weird.
I suppose int the sewer of NYC that is not unusual...........
For someone who declared he would not be divided from us, la poof sure ended up an ocean away in a fat hurry.
He should be locked away in a nervous hospital before he hurts himself anymore.
Shia is a Black girls name, right. Throw tomatoes at it!
Frankly, every time I hear its name, I keep thinking of the actress that played Cosby’s eldest daughter, Saundra.
Unfortunately for Shia, the effort already has the stench of desperation and buffoonery swirling around it.
I thought this was epic:
“Its really funny how a bunch of nobodies on the Internet can mess with a multimillionaire.
Yeah.
Just ask Hillary about that.
I think of Sleepy LaBeef....
Lol...beat me. OK, so I’m not alone on this. :)
The Washington Post building up Shia LaBeouf as some sort of authority.
I watched one video of the guy. He seemed idiotic.
There’s something seriously wrong with the guy.Maybe he should get checked for a brain tumor.Seriously.
Sill waiting for season 5 to begin.
I read the article. It could not help being a celebration of 4Chan!
Funny as can be. Clearly, they are the underdog, and are getting under the skin of the “Liberal Fascists”.
TOTAL WIN
HA HA !!
A lot of male college students are finding this hilarious.
