Eugen Leviné, assassinated on this day in 1919, was a German revolutionary communist who briefly led the Bavarian Council Republic, giving luxury apartments to the homeless and factories to the workers during his short reign in power.

Eugen Levine was born to wealthy Jewish parents in St Petersberg, Russia, and became exposed to radical politics after moving to Heidelberg, Germany at a young age. In 1905, Leviné returned to Russia to participate in the failed revolution of 1905 against the Tsar and was arrested and exiled to Siberia.

After World War I ended, Leviné joined the Communist Party of Germany and helped to create a socialist republic in Bavaria. Leviné eventually rose to power as the communists assumed control of the government.

He attempted to pass many reforms, such as giving the more luxurious flats to the homeless and giving workers control and ownership of factories. Leviné also planned reforms for the education system and to abolish paper money, but did not get the chance to complete either.

The German Army, assisted by the right-wing Freikorps paramilitary invaded and quickly conquered Munich on May 3rd, 1919. Leviné himself was arrested and shot by firing squad in Stadelheim Prison.

Ex-Soviet agent Whitaker Chambers cited Leviné as an inspirational figure, writing "During the Bavarian Council Republic in 1919, Leviné was the organiser of the Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets. When the Bavarian Council Republic was crushed, Leviné was captured and court-martialed. The court-martial told him: "You are under sentence of death." Leviné answered: 'We Communists are always under sentence of death.'"

The fact that a shitty country cover of Jkwons Tipsy is one of the biggest songs of the last 2 years is so incredibly sad lol. Every time someone plays it at the bar I work at I wanna puke. The chords they added to it are straight out of a pharmaceutical commercial

They should bring back a primarch back and in 5 seconds he got eaten by a t rex as a trailer to exodite eldar.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

They bring a Primarch back and he watches 1.) tiktok video and then he immediately falls to chaos

I'm in Japan right now and it's crazy how 90% of the things Americans say aren't to communicate information but just because they're afraid of silence

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

We weren't going to tell you but most Americans use echolocation to locate insects, navigate through the night sky, and attract mates.

I might have led on a guy... What do I say in this situation?

It feels presumptuous if he's just texting to be friendly to drop that I have a partner (and monogamous), but also feel like I should say it in case he is flirting.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When appropriate in the conversation drop in that your partner has the same interest/behaviour/whatever. I think it’s the best way to handle it, people who are flirting get the message, people who aren’t don’t really see it as something notable.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

That's a good idea. Think I'll try that.

There should be more comedy games, like joke first comedy games. The best example I can think of recently are Untitled Goose Game, Jazz Punk, Kingdom of Loathing, Stanley Parable even (contempibly) the south park rpg games or High On Life. I guess Yakuza or Saints Row kind of fit into that

There's plenty with funny moments or funny arcs or whatever (Baulders Gate 3 has plenty of funny lines and moments), but not a lot where the whole point is to laugh and not other game things - like power fantasy, mastery, playing a role, etc - and everything in it is there with the intent to make you laugh.

Kinda cooked how gen'AI' is effective at making short video (but falls apart the longer the video runs) while short-form vid is the predominant social media format

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I hate work. I hate jobs on the receiving end of fake email jobs. It’s just as fake except they expect you to do stuff. Making spreadsheets with no ostensible purpose but if one of them is wrong I could end up homeless. This rocks.
