The Russian Cosmonaut Gun,

Starting in 1986 Russian Cosmonauts began to carry a special gun into space.  These guns were not meant to fight off space aliens or any other kind of intergalactic threat, but were meant as an emergency survival weapon.  Often Russian missions involved landing in remote areas of Siberia.  Pickup and recovery could take a while, especially if they happened to be off course resulting in being stranded in the remote Siberian wilderness. In addition if they had to abandon a space ship or space station and their escape pod landed in the middle of the wilderness on some far off continent, rescue and recovery could take days or even weeks. Thus they were issued a special survival weapon to fend off predators or hunt for food.

The TP-82 was a simple three barreled break open firearm that sported two calibers.  The upper two barrels were smoothbore and chambered for a special 12.5x70mm (40 gauge) shot shell ideal for hunting small game.  The bottom third barrel was rifled and chambered for the 5.45x39mm rifle cartridge which could be used for larger animals in a pinch.  Included with the gun was a detachable buttstock which also doubled as a sheath and contained a small  machete.

The TP-82 was issued to Soviet and Russian Cosmonauts from 1982 up to 2006.  In 2007 the Russian Space Agency’s store of the rare 12.5x70mm shotshell ammunition expired in terms of shelf life and no more was manufactured.  Since then Russian Cosmonauts are issued regular semi automatic pistols with their emergency gear.

can you imagine how much the Jaeger Program meant to the poor and weak of the world?

like it is explicitly stated that the rich and powerful lived way inland, safer from the kaiju than those along the Pacific coastlines of the world. Can you imagine the interiors of various countries gentrifying, forcing lower-income families further and further from safety? Can you imagine having to tell your kids that you can’t afford your suddenly hyper-expensive home in, say, Idaho, and your best chance of being able to get an affordable house is on the coast of Oregon, where any day an enormous monster could pop up to say ‘hi fuck all of you’?

can you imagine how beloved the jaeger pilots are by the people on the coast? how happy they are that the battles are taking place out in the ocean rather than on top of their houses?

just

I just want to know precisely everything about the world of Pacific Rim not even just about the pilots I want to know about the average people living on the front lines of this horrible alien war and what sort of things they think about every day and how they live their lives and what kind of dumb blog posts they make and I want to see the riots that started over the Wall because no fuck you, you can’t take away their giant metal protectors and leave them with a wall that’s practically nothing, how dare you

This is why the “life wall" was bullshit and it’s hilarious that mostly the poor and disenfranchised would be working to build it and it wouldn’t even protect them.

The main purpose of the life wall project was probably to keep a steady supply of unskilled work along the coastline, as part of a one-two punch with the gentrification of the inland. If the only jobs are on the wall and the wall is by definition along the coast…

But notice that while they were supposedly racing to get the walls finished they were also handing out a finite amount of jobs. The largest civil engineering/public works program in the history of ever, and they still made it a buyers’ market for the employers. They still made people compete for the right to work for a pittance (bread was a luxury) in unsafe conditions.

I keep wondering what the actual endgame of the world leaders was… if they didn’t think the Kaiju would ever strike farther inland if left to run rampant, or if they thought the walls and the target-rich environment on the other side of them would always slow them down enough to be brought down with conventional weaponry, but at the end of the day I think it’s perfectly realistic to believe they had no endgame.

What’s the endgame on denying climate change? What’s the endgame on vulture capitalism destroying the consumer class that makes capitalism possible? What’s the endgame on propping up this quarter’s profits by stripmining the future? Strategies that literally have no future in them still win out.

There have been studies that show that neurologically speaking, we regard our own future selves as different people, that when we contemplate consequences of our actions down the road, the parts of the brain that activate are the same ones that happen when we regard things happening to other people. I think there’s a profound implication in this for how people who lack empathy also seem to lack any sense of long-term self-preservation even they clearly embrace it in the short-term.

The architects of the wall don’t have a plan for the future, because the future is something that happens to other people. In the here and now, they’re a thousand miles form the ocean and that’s good enough.
