biggest bestest shot of Tahrir Square

this is one of those massive zoom-able, pan-able panoramic images. you can look around and zoom right in to see individual faces etc.
i know this lot are as much statists as voters in a rotherham by-election but at least they were willing to put everything on the line for a bit more liberty. most of us dont have the balls to resist the TV tax. anyways click through and have a look

so from the freedom loving people gathered to overthrow an oppressive ruler to a different crowd of people gathered to welcome and celebrate a new, more oppressive ruler

just to ruin the suprise ill tell you its another gigapan shot of obama's innauguration. not something an anarchist should really give two shits about but its a pretty amazing image. i suppose i could dive into how all the pageantry and magic symbols and colourful outfits/uniforms are antiquated control mechanisms designed to awe and control an uneducated peasantry and that its a fucking humiliation that this kind of song and dance still convinces the masses that they should bend over for a coercive butt fucking by our illegitimate overlords in the 21st century. but i wont.
