Where can you go that's not being ravaged by extraction, climate change, and imperialism?

I've been considering Portugal, seems chill there.

I heard all the tech ghouls are building their doomsday bunkers in Aotearoa/New Zealand because it's projected to be least impacted by climate collapse.

I'm not sure it's based on any sound thinking - most of them are building bunkers on a geological fault on the south island:

While we can’t predict when earthquakes will occur, scientific research indicates there is a 75% probability of an Alpine Fault earthquake occurring in the next 50 years, and that there is a 4 out of 5 chance that it will be a magnitude 8+ event. Geological evidence also shows that the Alpine Fault has a remarkably regular history of producing large earthquakes.

However New Zealand doesn't have a capital gains tax so that probably factors in

Why is it always Europe lmao? Every "socialist" just wants to move to Europe like it's 2014.

Lol, yeah I'm a basic bitch! What can I say? Truth is, my partner and I want to have kids, but we don't want them raised in the context of American culture.

Right, there are a litany of kid unfriendly things about the US. That's where the urgency needed to actually put myself on a track to get out of here came from. Now I gotta get a stable relationship here (and it's not looking good in like two months) or become the cringe single expat

Where are you moving?
