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.

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

You didn't need old fascism. the real fascism was inside you all along.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Can I call dibs?

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.

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.

Considering Russia's interest in the islands, that might not be all that great of a choice.

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

I am going to timetravel to the 1890s

The dream of the 1890s is alive in Portland
