Original reply I responded to prior to edit so I can leave all this up for teachable moment purposes:
Not really big news imo, since the settler colonial entity of Isn’treal already has done this, the word “decolonisation” is at maximum co-optation so any serious person knows that they can’t outright trust everyone who uses the word
Oh fuck off with that. Decolonization is a very important aspect of revolutionary movements in any colonized place like for example the United fucking states.
Just because it is being aggressively co-opted doesn’t mean we stop using the word you coward. It means you push back harder and educate people. I am so tired of people ceding ground because of optics when you need to nut the fuck up and push back on that.
Pride has been co-opted so should we just stop talking about queer liberation? Come the fuck on dude.

I’m sorry for expressing myself poorly. Could you consider unremoving my comment so I can edit it? I will strike or even erease the last paragraph to clear any ambiguity. I knew my wording wasn’t great but I thought my intentions would still be transparent, however since it’s apparently not the case.
To me, anti-colonial organisation carry the best hope humanity has for a revolution in the imperial core, since this entity is yet too colonialist to achieve class consciousness. This is how important this subject is to me. I fully support my local decolonial media and organisation.
okay it came off REALLY bad so my apologies for the friendly fire. Saying you “can’t outright trust anyone who uses the word [decolonization]” was just super sus.
