barca Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm an American who's been traveling the world as a digital nomad for the past decade, but I'm starting a family soon and wondering where would be the safest place to settle. Obviously places like China are at the very bottom of the list. What's at the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It’s difficult isn’t it. Depends what you want to be safe from! I guess USA has a lot of wilderness. Places to get lost. Europe a bit more cramped. Maybe even into Canada if you can stand the harsh winters. Certainly resource for necessity’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is called 'democracy' I totally agree. Just musing where you might get freedom for a little longer. The WHO’s new powers are to me the end of the first stage of this chaos. They’ll be able now to sanction anyone, anywhere for anything. All under the pretence of public health concerns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athenry04 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Stay out of Western cities, they will be hell on earth. Go as rural as possible and learn basic agriculture, the further out you go, the less chance they'll be spraying the skies and killing your crops. If I had the means, central or South America would be my go to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the means, central or South America would be my go to. I recommended Belize. It's in the Caribbean. You can buy land in the bush CHEAP and there are no building regulations. You can build a wooden house or a mud hut. Most of the land is fertile. If you have 5 acres, you can be self sufficient and you can buy 5 acres in Belize for less that a one bed flat in Europe. Get a group of half a dozen people and club up to buy 20 or 50 acres of land. Lot of hard work clearing and building, but out of the cities, no one will bother you. All I need is enough money to get there with my possessions and the ability to travel without being jabbed and I'm away. I have a piece of land there, right on a river. I like fish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I think having the knowledge and skills to use the land to your advantage is incredibly important. You can take that with you anywhere.

If you use your land to grow veggies and fruit (and they grow like weeds in that climate). Apart from flour and salt and luxury goods. you are self-sufficient. You can buy or make your own solar panels, but why bother, cook on a wood fire. The problem is getting there with your clothes and household goods. You can buy a small container, but it still costs MONEY and after being make broke by covid stupidity, THAT is the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not a perfect solution but have you considered rustic furniture making? (I’m sure you have). Even the big bench saws only require the blade. The rest can vibe done with an axe/ machete.

If you can get hold of Carlson’s interviews with him, they’re worth a watch. That's fair, but Viktor Orban could have an aneurysm and die tomorrow. What then? The issue with Hungary is its proximity to the rest of Europe and its status as an EU member country. One can't place too much faith in a place because of its current rulers. The policies of a country can flip on a dime, as we've seen with Australia and Canada.

In some ways, I think the geographic argument is a stronger one than the political one. Some of the islands of Southeast Asia and the Caribbean could be potential spots. I wonder what would set one over the other, aside from proximity to the US in the Caribbean. I do think that some islands in Thailand would be quite a bit more affordable and relatively safe in the long run.

I have no idea what is going to happen, but I get the feeling nothing good for the peasants. As others have suggested on the forum, getting far out to the country and being as self sufficient as possible - wells, solar, gardens, and if possible, like minded people; people without an agenda; gentle but strong people. I wish you and yours all the very best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Materials on site The Mennonite community in Spanish Lookout make all the furniture you would ever want and it isn't expensive. At 81, all I need a proper bed to sleep in, that's all. Wife and daughter are another matter. The only downside of Belize is the rainy season. it pisses down. one of the reasons they build wooden houses off the ground. I worked and lived there for 4 years, (in a house). Had I even suspected that the world would get fucked up so badly by mindless morons who believe the covid scam, I would never have come back. If anyone wants pictures or wants to get in touch with Estate agents over there, we still have friends. PM me. You'll need to research new policies for immigration etc. I haven't done that yet. We just don't have enough money to even THINK about travelling anywhere at the moment. Just staying fed and warm is the ONLY concern.

SimonTV Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Florida or Texas seem good. If I had the money i'd own a place in Florida, a place in Spain or portugal and a place in Costa Rica or mexico. If I was raising a family, I think i'd pick Florida. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Tony B liar, whether i voted Labour or not makes no difference, why is he still walking around and not locked up/hung for war crimes, the Guardian tells us why, the corruption goes deep, with loads of people on the payroll it would seem, it's quite a mountain to climb, but not impossible, Everest was far far harder than this shit we're going through. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/31/tony-blair-prosecution-over-iraq-war-blocked-by-judges So i am staying right here and i will be demanding Justice and our God given rights reaffirmed no matter what.
