It’s a nationalist movement from the side of the colonized, but supporting said movements from the Colonial perspective is an internationalist stance. Given the perspective of the original post we are laughing at, they should take the internationalist stance and support national liberation in the colonies.
Put another way, a US nationalist Socialist is a supporter of Imperialism and perpetuating it, while a Palestinian nationalist Socialist is a supporter of overthrowing settler colonialism and Imperialism. The key factor here is that national liberation of the colonies is a prerequisite to internationalist Socialism.

Decolonization isn’t internationalist though. It’s nationalist.
