      Jeet Heer Retweeted Reza Pahlavi

      Me: (dumb guy): Absolutist monarchism is antithetical to liberalism. The CIA installation of the Shah in the 1953 coup in Iran was a shameful moment in American foreign policy. Center for American Progress (smart think tank):https://twitter.com/PahlaviReza/status/1122270308466032640 …

      Productive meeting with the team at Center for American Progress. Support for the Iranian people should transcend partisan politics in any liberal democracy. Progressives in particular should stand with the many millions of Iranians seeking liberty, equality, dignity & justice. pic.twitter.com/yxeeppvgOh

      Is Pahlavi seeking a return to absolutist monarchism, or is this just a "visit the sins of the father upon the son" thing?

      I mean, in this tweet Pahlavi is literally calling for liberal democracy. Still a bit distasteful, but it's pretty ridiculous for Jeet to be acting as though CAP is supporting a revival of absolute monarchy in Iran because they met with the Shah's son.

      Yeah, everyone who calls for liberal democracy (including the CIA in the 1950s) is being sincere & should not be questioned no matter what logic & history says. Also Mohammed bin Salman is a great reformer because he says so.

          Mohammed bin Salman we know to be a liar and a monster. Reza Pahlavi has not, I believe, ordered anyone's murder, and has been calling for democracy for decades. One may doubt his sincerity, of course, but using this to say *CAP* is advocating for SAVAK is disingenuous.

          CAP is like three degrees removed from anything particularly terrible here. They...had a meeting, I guess... with...the Shah's son, who was a teenager when the monarchy was overthrown.

          Liberal democracy is in retreat-advance liberal democracies w/ inept liberal leaders/politicians who undermine principles of equity, equal opportunity 4 all, & human rights. Whole world is in transition & old bipolar crony capitalism is dying. #Iran regime will change👌regardless
