The original comment calls their culture primitive, which is a textbook case of dehumanisation.

There’s been a war between America and Iran for most of this year. For this one specifically, the reason to avoid rhetoric aimed at Iran’s culture is to protect yourself from the effects of ongoing war propaganda.

But in general, It’s dangerous to allow yourself to judge a group of people in ways that make them “others.” That’s what turns thoughts like “they’re a primitive culture” into “well, our bombs are doing the world a favour”.

Germans didn’t just wake up and gas people overnight, it was through conditioning that started with seemingly innocuous comments that ultimately led to war & genocide.

most Iranians don’t want anything to do with this shit

Exactly that mate. Problem with the definition of ‘which culture OP meant’ is that it’s all just conjecture on both our ends.

All we can say for certain, is that OP made a statement about a culture being primitive and promptly exited stage right.

We’re now all left here farting over whether they were talking about all Iranians, all Muslims, or a specific subset of Muslim culture with their blanket statement.

Dehumanisation based on culture/ethnicity/race etc… is a tried and tested fascist playbook that at best is designed to divide the working classes, but can lead to far worse situations, like ethnic cleansing and genocide.

I’m certainly no authority on the matter, I just think it’s best to err against using such language, Lest we play into our oppressors hands and so forth.

Nobody is defending lashing. It’s the Claim that lashes are part of Iranian culture that’s being questioned, as it enables scapegoating and dehumanisation of a people based on nationality; a good example is the genocide within Gaza and how it was largely whitewashed by claiming the actions of hamas equal the actions of Palestinians.

It’s no different to claiming that the abduction and rape/torture of citizens based on ethnicity is American culture… I’m not American, but i’d assume there’s widespread disgust at all the concentration camps ICE have set up and inhumane treatment going on inside them, so wouldn’t claim it’s part of American culture, but just because I won’t brandish every American as a rapist doesn’t mean I agree with rape and torture.

That’s some goddamm primitive shit right there. Great culture you got.

Out of the two of you, it seems you’re the one putting words in OPs mouth. The above is what was said, and it clearly mentions their culture.

Hell you could even argue they didn’t even mention the lashings; but that seems just as insincere as claiming they didn’t take aim at a specific culture.

I tested out v0.3 mid last year.

Essentially the store contains all games the admin has setup on the server. A user then subscribes to a game from the store, which adds it to their library, ready for download. There’s no transaction or anything like that.

Store probably isn’t the best terminology to use, but I guess they’re trying to mirror steam as closely as possible for adoption purposes.

Yams (Yet another media server) starts you off with a full media arr stack, as well as your client of choice, torrent & nzb clients, and walks you through connecting all the pieces.

It also has built in methods for setting up a VPN tunnel for your torrents, which is definitely recommended. After running through the setup, you’ll end up with a compose file, and full docker media server stack. (I think even music arr client is included, but its been a long time since I set this up).
