    As non-functional as it is, we don’t need to make it ten times worse. If this happens Elon and Trump will likely behave like they own the rights to every resource on the eastern members of CW.

    Also trying to side with an openly fascist, sexist, racist president? King Edward III much?

    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.

      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”

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

      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.

    The president shared 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.

    The idea to join the Commonwealth was first floated during that 2017-2021 term.

    This is for real. Now Brexit makes sense.

    They always belonged together.
    Both horrible neoliberal callous policies.
    The old imperialist empire and the one that took over from them trying to catch up in warcrimes and death count.

    If the US became a british commonwealth before 2016, trump would probably never have became the head of government, since there would be more than 2 parties and much less extremism.

      there are 56 members of the commonwealth of nations. of those, only 15 are commonwealth realms. the rest are republics or a different monarchy.

      india was the first republic member when they transitioned from dominion (with british monarch as head of state) to a republic in 1950.

      commonwealth members need only recognize king charles as the ‘head of the commonwealth’, which is a purely ceremonial position.

      Its Newsweek, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen trump taken out of context when going to a better source or the source …
