Why should I leave? They're the ones who suck. I'm not giving any ground

Everyone saying Latin America has absolutely no clue about what Latin America is, lol. The only place safe from fascism rn is either another planet or being dead.

As a Costa Rican, I agree. Hell, we even have one of trumps deportation (concentration) camps over here

As a Puerto Rican, I am very upset about all the fascism taking place in our federal government

Chatham Islands ?

I chose Tasmania, am here now.. I dont think anywhere is but i am hoping it's lesser and i am not the literal tip of the spear.

Albiet the poulation is older, white, conservative, religious so there is that problem.

While Latin America is, overall, a good choice, it's important to recognize that the mask off fascism we are seeing from the US will only increase the meddling they already do on their "backyard", so keep that in mind.

Vietnam. Decent enough government and standard of living, and they whooped America's ass so bad that it'd be political suicide to go back there. I mean, what kind of timeline would we have to be on for someone to be stupid enough to... hmm.

Considering that fucking Greenland is caught up in it now, idk that anywhere is safe.

Communism is kind of a red flag though

You get a gold star for that.

Marquesas islands. They are very large, no dangers, lot of hideouts, lot of food resources, innaccessible for wheel vehicles, almost impossible to build large bases and to urbanise (small interest for China), they are isolated from other archipelagos, and the islands have not even 10k inhabitants in total (14 islands) so no one would get interest in nuking here.

If we take its actual definition; far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist, countries like Cuba for sure fits the bill. Now Cuba is authoritarian (and normal since they are in permanent and genuine threat from its neighbor) and probably that is not what is in your mind. Latin America is, as many as you pointed out, no ideal... but most countries there at least lacks of a strong government to enforce things (for better or worse) so, in a turbulent world, it is indeed a better bet. I think, for the time being, Spain has proven to be resilient to authoritarianism and even the voters of "extreme" parties are not that extreme themselves! In Latin America, Mexico is proven to have an amazing leadership (today, I consider it the best worldwide) so unlikely to change overnight. Colombia, Chile and Uruguay seems promising too.

See, when we analyze Latin America countries, one cannot think exclusively in terms of US or Europe political science. Our states may seem like weak forces when scrutinized from afar, however this is exactly the problem. Fascism has different ways of spreading through institutions and evangelical militias or drug cartels are literally everywhere. Sometimes, our states do not enforce fascism by law. They are weak on surface and extremely dangerous in their militias and affiliations with drug cartels. The contradiction is the rule around here. Mexico is not the heaven you make it sound. Do not trust a country's safety based on official governments, it is a starter error when analyzing Latin America politics

Think my home country Suriname is pretty safe. Almost no one knows it exists and there's plenty of places to ride out instability

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Exactly where I am.

I moved to a backwater town in the middle of the desert for a fucking reason, worse comes to worst and I've got the benefit of being able to travel in literally any direction and be on res.

Latin America. They are not aligned with NATO or Russia/China. And the level of life quality have greatly improved in later years. In fact many migrants feel cheated when coming here because they thought europe was better than it actually is in comparison.

You are very, very wrong

We'll know what the right answer was after it passes.

I think we should go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
