I have no idea who Black Dragon is... sweet name though. Is that the name of Jackie Chan movie?
I was going through that Mode One guy's stuff the other day, just because a friend recommended it to me and I heard he created a lot of uproar.
After listening to the first audio, there's 100% no doubt in my mind that he's a marketer. You don't tell stories like that without it being carefully crafted through marketing. Then the first part of the program is all massively over simplified and it involves a lot of hard marketing stuff in it (like creating a common enemy, which happens to be PUAs).
Can't fault the guy for wanting to create a cult following. I'd be surprised if there wasn't quite a few people who joined the men's dating advice niche to specifically suck money out of it while selling half truths and overly simplified ideas to be idealized.
Not sure if this Black Dragon guy is one of them or not but it sounds like a similar type of story. If you get wrapped up in the drama of it, you're missing the larger picture of what the guy is doing from a business standpoint that you could learning from.
If whoever running the forum was smart, you'd just kick that person out and incorporate some of their valuable marketing skills in your own business and move on with your life.
Marriage
On the note of marriage, I think marriage is vital to a healthy and functioning society, especially for kids. It is possible that you could have kids raised by a bunch of fathers in some type of leftist dystopian future world but I don't think that's ideal.
That being said, marriage for marriage sake doesn't appeal to me. But since I want kids, I think it's important to do. I also think marriage is important for our society so that the number of incels is reduced in the society.
When you have marriage, theoretically, you're pulling a lot of men out of the running to be sexual partners with a lot of the women. When marriage doesn't exist, those women compete for the best of the breed, leaving regular guys shit out of luck because women are all banging the top breed guys, even if the women are not all that attractive... because the top guy is spreading his seed.
So if you're not one of those top guys, you're looking for scraps. If you don't have the skillset or resources to attract really attractive women, you're left holding your dick.
So I think marriage is vital to keep men feeling like they have a place in the society, even if they're not the top breed of men, don't have amazing communication skills, or the resources to attract a great woman into their lives.

The thing is that life doesn’t go as planned, my marriage lasted 10 years and it went in the blink of an eye. And I stuck in there for most of that because of my son. It could easily have “slid” for another 5 or even 10 years.
the only way to shelter assets here is to put them into trust, but there are tax implications and you need to be wealthy in the first place
The average man in the street makes money on the investment in the house he lives in. That’s where most U.K. household wealth is. That accrues over a lifetime and most people need 2 incomes to fund that anyway.
Asset protection is just never going to be a thing for the bulk of the population here.
