That’s an extra weird one because usually I thought these dudes were all about a return to a mythical time when according to them, everything was great until things like women having rights ruined it all. But when has the state ever given people a wife? Even when women were considered property it didn’t work like that. You always previously had to demonstrate at least some semblance of appeal even in paternalistic societies with arranged marriages since even then the parents at least needed to be persuaded this was a good idea.
They actually somehow managed to dream up a dystopian system even worse than “the good old days”.
I cannot find a single one that says they should get a wife from the state. Care to elaborate? I want to know their reasoning, I have never met this before or heard about it or noticed it.
I don’t have much to do with these types so then I see something like given a wife by the state and im like. WTF!

Handmaid’s Tale. They’re literally using it as a checklist of things to aim for.
What makes you think there are people like that? A comic?
There are a few in this thread it looks like.
