Where would you move to ride out a potential WWIII?

Depends, are we riding out the rise of fascism or riding out WWIII? Those are two highly different scenarios.

Either way, a Pacific island sounds nice.

Not with rising sea levels

Fair. A boat anchored at a Pacific Island, while they exist.

Maybe I'll dock at the Pacific garbage patch and distill my fuel from microplastics.

Totally agree, but you really never know where would be insulated from everything

I mean surely in the 1930s Hawaii felt like an excellent place to be insulated from war...

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)

Least likely to be involved... Unless Bolsonaro or any other dumbass decides it would be fun to lick Trump's ass, which is very likely to happen if they arise to power in 2026. I wouldn't be sure about that least likely remark. Also, there are ways to live in a fascist state even if it is not involved directly in a war - GetΓΊlio Vargas is the name that comes to my mind, only to start

Just teleport me to L3 and be done with it. Earth-Moon, Sun-Earth, doesn't matter.

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

Bold to presume that we would want to survive it.

Fwiw Musk says that he wants to leave Earth and go to Mars, which is great news for the rest of us:-).

Somewhere in South America. Always wanted to go the Falklands. In reality I don't have the money for that. So I'm here on this hell ride to the bitter end.
