an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.

Ah yes, the classic cuck king making deals to give more power and alliances to a fascist. What can possibly go wrong? Let's ask Vittorio Emanuele III and Michael I of Romania.

This is why monarchy has to be destroyed, every single atom of it.

My general rule is that people that are super upset about the monarchy don't have very many real problems in life.

The great feature of the monarchy is that it's a lightning rod for idiots. People who are subservient can be subservient to someone non-political that doesn't have any power. And pretend revolutionaries that don't have any grasp of any real issues show themselves to be the non-serious people they are.

Charles is making zero deals giving power to anyone; any words out of his mouth on this are coming from the UK cabinet.

The Sun is News Corp garbage, why are we even taking it seriously?

because the murdok family hasn't been exterminated yet, their holdings shredded and scattered across the solar system.

You don't need to go too far, King Edward III is believed to write letters of good intent to hitler, urging him to keep bombing the UK a little more and that they would cave in.

This would make a great entry point for the protests against this. And the left should be a bit opportunist and use the "proud British" rhetoric that the right used for Brexit against US "taking over leadership of CW"
