vviserystargaryen:Pacific Rim Meme: Five LocationsThe Wall of Life [Anti-Kaiju Wall]The Anti-Kaiju Wall (alternatively the Wall or the Wall of Life) is a massive manmade structure built with intention of preventing the invasion of Kaiju beyond the Pacific Rim.In 2024, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps suffered major losses during an unprecedented incursion of Kaiju attacks that reached extinction event levels as predicted by Hermann Gottlieb. Unwilling to put stock in the Jaeger Program any longer, the United Nations cut finances to the program and began focusing their efforts on constructing the wall so that it would be strong enough to prevent the Kaiju from reaching the rest of the world beyond the Pacific Rim. The project and wall itself was dubbed the “Wall of Life”. Working environments around the wall are dismal, the uppermost part of the wall being the deadliest environment of the wall to work. Limited resources provided by rations provide little to no benefit to the workers. The wall is thought to provide a false sense of security, and is easily broken through by Mutavore, a Category IV Kaiju. The realization that the Kaiju could in fact penetrate the wall triggered a large negative reaction among the public. Workers on the Alaskan wall began to question the point of even building it. Despite its evident and absolute failure, politicians continued to lend their support to the project, having faith it would work. This lead to rioting against the UN and demanding for answers in why they stopped the Jaeger Program and continued supporting the construction of the wall.I loved travisbeacham’s comments on the wall: that its proponents didn’t even necessarily expect it to work.Bureaucracy and politics in a nutshell! -- source link
