That's kinda what a colony is when you think about it. A colony that can refuse the colonial overlords is.... well.... not a colony ๐คฃ.
The whole concept is revolting.
Colonies do lead to revolutions in most cases, yes.
All this talk is making my head spin
I see what you did there
I can independently verify this.
In most cases a colony depends on the colonial overlords for stuff. When the colony no longer needs the colonial overlords, if they're better off than the colonial overlords (like the American colonies were), they frequently then demand independence.
