It was on Groupme. Was not aware of that scam trending because it had been a while since I encountered a scam. But what caught me off guard is that they were on a private group page. But I got really suspicious and luckily found out about that scam. Close call.

So it's still trending, I guess. I initially thought it was someone in my group that I just wasn't as familiar with because I hadn't been to a few of the planned events in our private group me. But once they started mentioning international client, along with mailing a check, my radar started going off. Luckily, it only took a simple Google search to figure out what was going on.

I immediately reported and blocked the profile on groupme making sure to include the details of it being that muse scam.

Something Like Pyscho Pass, Cowboy Bebop, Darker than Black.

I think of early to mid 2000s when there was Cowboy Bebop, Darker than Black, Black Lagoon, Psycho Pass, etc. Now in 2026, Im like where is it. I could be overlooking some because that has happened before where I found something good that slipped past my radar initially.

Based on history, many capitalist leaders such as Otto Von Bismarck of Germany and FDR of the U.S. allowed social Democracy to flourish with the explicit purpose of stopping socialism from spreading. The idea was to give the people a small crumble of socialism to quiet them down while still allowing capital to flourish unchecked. It effectively chops down socialism at the heels.

History has shown that many socialist revolutions have never bore out of Social Democracy gradually sliding into socialism, but rather unchecked capital that was overthrown by socialists to fully taking root in the government.
