Honest question, do people here think we would be better this way?

No, it would be worse, maybe even worse than today, the mere purpose of colonization is to extract the resources for the benefit of the colonizers, technically we still are in this condition but well at least we have more "power" to set our own course IF we're willing, but the govt seems too ignorant and doesn't give a fuck about the people AT ALL, they're busy to take everything for themselves.

If the Dutch still colonized us, things would be even worse considering it's already bad for us now by being colonized it just actually making us even more in tight situation where we can't do much at all because everything is controlled by the colonizers and they're the main priority for everything we made.
