You’re the one reducing possibilities. Your dichotomy is between staying a territory and becoming a state. While being a state is nominally better than being outright occupied subjects, prior to colonization they were better off, and you suggest decolonization and not being colonized aren’t options.

I never made this argument, but several others here did. in fact, I, several times, pointed out that there were other possibilities.

clearly you’re confused.
