the man’s ideal is a virgin bride who turns into his personal slut.
I see statements like this, and I recall Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings - who basically went off to war, went through hell, came back, married his childhood friend, and had something like 8 kids.
When society has gotten to the point where you can point at Samwise Gamgee, the literal everyman in a story filled with demigods and suffering, tragic figures, and say 'That's an unrealistic fantasy, stop dreaming', I think we've lost a bit of the plot somewhere along the way.

I suppose I could cheat by slapping the entire Xenogears OST down on the table and walking away, but if I had to narrow it to a specific track, 'Small Two of Pieces - Restored Pieces' is probably the best of them.
It's definitely a song that has one hell of a payoff.

Here I thought I was about to pay for my sins of not doing my due dilligance on the Motte, but;
Gretchen Whitmer: Michigan governor kidnap plot case collapses
Fox and Croft were the two I was thinking of. Not acquited, but a mistrial. I find it telling that the initial court for those two were ruled as a mistrial, only to be convicted after a second trial(of cource) and both were given very heavy prison terms - again, of cource - and then denied appeal by a panel of Judges, as noted in your second link.
Of. Cource.
Perhaps I'm being very uncharitable, but I find it difficult to do so in such a case as this one.

Oddly I don’t see the same level of paramilitary organization forming in the right which you wouldn’t think given their greater affinity for gun culture.
The reason for this is that any attempt to do as such is often met with the reply of 'Nice try, Fedboy.'
The Right as a whole is excruciatingly aware of the double-standard of how paramilitary organizations are treated. Antifa? John Brown Society? A-O-Kay, says the Feds. Patriot Front? A right-wing organization of people dressed in anonymous uniforms?
Clearly a fed-run honeypot.
I can't really blame them, going by the long history of treatment by right-wing elements by said fed. Even just recently, with the governor kidnapping attempt, who's conviction of those indicted was actually overturned because the majority of said group was federal operatives egging the entire plot on. And that overturned conviction was reversed by a higher-judge.
Because of course it was.
So. Any right-wing paramilitary organization is going to be quiet, run deep, run silent, and will probably never get talked about unless things get really, really bad.
This has never been the vast majority of men. You're hyperfocused on the top ten to one percent of men who have the luxury to do this.
Looking back at the past three generations of men on my father's side, not one of them did this, my father included.
The vast majority of men really are invisible to women, huh.
I've spent the past ten years trying to get together a job and a life that can actually support a family. So far it's been an utter failure, for one reason or another.
No sane woman would want to marry me.
I never received any attention from woman in high school.
Funny story my family had over Christmas dinner. My mother was commenting on how she was bragging to her hair dresser about how good her two sons are(myself and my brother), referencing all the things we do for her in terms of managing the household and all the special things we like to do one around the holidays. The hair dresser, in turn, apparently regaled to my mother how worthless her various relatives were regarding such things and how much of a pain they were.
And it couldn't help but occur to me, listening to this, that at no point during this entire conversation these two women apparently had, was there the wherewithal or instinct or desire to go 'Hey, I have/you have these two, single, adult men - I have/you have these single relatives, why don't you/I get them together as a social date and see if anything clicks'.
I'm beginning to wonder just how many generations of women have failed their sons by this point.
