georgy-konstantinovich-zhukov: The Japanese paratroopers went through a number of standard issue weapons in their time. Initially issued the Type 38 Carbine, it proved to be unwieldy, so a few attempts at a proper paratrooper rifle were made. The first was a Type 38 modified with a folding stock, but it was found to lack durability. This was quickly replaced with the Type 100, a modified Type 99 with a detachable barrel, but it wasn’t much better. The final step in development was a purpose built takedown rifle, the Type 2, which went into service in May, 1943. Used by both the Naval and Army airborne units, it was meant to either fit in the trooper’s chest bag, or else carried in two small sacks hitched by a line to the leg. View high resolution

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

This guy is so… awesome. Amazing. Inspiring.


Hardcore.

in the past few years i’ve gone liberal -> libertarian -> paleocon -> neoconfederate -> distributist -> cryptocatholic -> national anarchist except i didn’t call myself that -> neocameralist -> evolian -> classical international law !!!!! -> wait capitalism has effects -> maybe mussolini wasn’t that bad -> shit what if the commies are right -> nietzsche nietzsche nietzsche nietzsche

so if nothing else it’s safe to say that i don’t have the slightest idea what’s going on
