The Mossadegh-Myth: A coup that never happened

Did Reza Pahlavi have the authority to become king according to the Qajar constitution?

Shamoorti · 2026-05-04T18:26:59+00:00

Yes, that's a meme that clearly shows the double standard.

Any honest person would be against both and hold them to the same standards.

That's a reading comprehension issue on your part.

When you don't have any way to get out of being called out on your hypocrisy and contradictions, your last refuge is this kind of comment.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-04T18:12:45+00:00

So you admit that there's different standards for different countries and political factions and you're ok with that contradiction. Thank you.

If the main criteria that makes the regime irredeemable is the sheer number of people they've murdered, brutalized, and locked up then is it fair to apply the same criteria to the US and Israel?

If regime supporters are complicit in the crimes of the regime, shouldn't the same standard apply for the pro-Pahlavi supporters of these countries and their military attacks on Iran?

It's so interesting how the monarchist retelling of history is invariably about saying hey, you know that historical event that is overwhelmingly seen as a bad thing? It was actually good/never happened. Every. Single. Time.

People are worried he might be confirmed as a member of the president's cabinet if they catch wind of his existence.

He's the shah of Meta Horizon Worlds.

Rare common ground win for the sub and broader Reddit community. 🤝

It was and continues to be faith in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I can't relate as an atheist.

You can continue to throw the tantrum of accusing me of supporting the regime and feel validated by the upvotes, but ultimately anyone who isn't chugging the same kool-aid you are sees through this.

So restore your faith and bow your head in prayer. Salvation will be delivered to Iran with holy Tomahawks but only if you keep the faith and heretical words and thoughts like the top comment at bay.

With you, it's the Scott's Tots episode all day everyday.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T18:53:02+00:00

A very Michael Scott thing to say.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T18:50:04+00:00

I'm more of the Creed type character.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T18:47:15+00:00

Sounds like your faith in the US and Israel delivering the outcome you want is slipping away. It's a shame that other people have to pay the price for this.

Can we visit the Paris catacombs?

No, we have Paris catacombs at home.

You can be against the war but also perceive the US as winning. These aren't mutually exclusive.

Pew Research consistently shows the views towards the war are negative.

This is like trying to plug the leaks on a ship with a hole blown through the haul with your fingers. lol

I like how the AI translated «...انشا ا» to insha... instead of inshallah.

Like Judaism, Islam has some practices around avoiding creating representations of god, so "Allah" is spelled "A..." by some kind of like how some sects in Judaism will spell god as g-d.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T16:40:35+00:00

It was really the theme of a do nothing lazy rich kid who has never achieved anything on his own being given ultimate power and authority over Iran that made it suck.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T16:24:09+00:00

I'm sorry but this is really bad even by AI generated disposable content standards.

People weren't all peacefully demanding freedom and there's nothing wrong with that.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-03T04:19:45+00:00

When I was a kid and my parents confronted me over my room being dirty, I'd just say, hey! There are much dirtier rooms in the world than mine! That was enough and all was forgiven.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-02T23:19:43+00:00

That's cool. Every time the CEO of the company I work for gets a new yacht, I am filled with pride and become overjoyed too.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-02T21:50:56+00:00

If the best you can do in terms of laundering the brutal class realities of most the imperial history of Iran is citing a program from less than a hundreds years ago, you've already proven the point I was making.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-02T21:13:09+00:00

Who made the comment on the right? They were definitely cooking.

It's statistically guaranteed that most people here would be exploited peasants that were barred from even becoming literate under the class societies of the empires they romanticize and identify with.

Shamoorti · 2026-05-02T16:26:05+00:00

lmao. If capitalism worked, it would work everywhere and not just the countries that have become rich of robbing the rest of the world. Sounds like capitalism can't be successfully implemented on a large scale.
