I think I already live in one of the places least likely to be involved in WW3

The countryside of Brazil

In the previous two World Wars Brazil only got involved because people pressured the president to do so, otherwise we could have just sat the entire thing out.

Like, life will get shittier here too, but it is VIOLENTLY unlikely that there will be any fighting in our soil or even a draft to send soldiers to the war. (and I aggressively doubt there will be any kind of nuke-related mutually assured destruction shenanigans. The elites don't benefit from causing the apocalypse)

London. Thanks to the artefacts in the British Museum, nobody will dare to throw bombs there.

Uruguay, New Zealand, or SE Asia

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

East Africa. I just like the idea.

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

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

We will know the best place after whatever event happens. It’s always hard to predict these things with so many variables.

Just click your heels together three times, Dorothy. You'll find all the fascism you need right in your own backyard!

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.

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.

Somewhere I won't be bothered, like Tristan da Cunha or the Pitcairn Islands

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve got a bug out zone extremely close to a bordering country that’s self sufficient. Staying put unless things get wildly out of hand. We could probably house another 2 families if needed.

Nomadic life makes the most sense, just figure out your mode(s) of transportation.

I've given some thought to a sailboat, as I love sailing.

I was looking into boats for a moment, all the legalities were too much of a learning curve for me, but there's a lot of water out there.

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.
