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

I am going to timetravel to the 1890s
The dream of the 1890s is alive in Portland
It's the dysentery, isn't it?

Where would you move to ride out a potential WWIII?
Australia. There really is no better place in the event of nuclear war. It's a continent-island, meaning easy to defend, it grows and can build just about anything, and being in the southern hemisphere it should be safe from nuclear winter.
Specifically, a rural property somewhere agricultural. Maybe Queensland or Tasmania.
If you could move anywhere to minimize the impact on you of the worldwide rise of fascism...
That's almost a different question, though. Whichever European country is the most securely democratic. There's lots of non-war ways fascism can suck aggressively.
Australian here, we're in the shit. A good chunk of our rural voters support the LNP (who are doing everything they can to copy Trump). Universal healthcare has been slashed down to an inch of its life, and employment prospects are terrible for most everyone under 50.
If you're looking to escape the rise of facism, don't. Come. Here. We're lockstepping with the US and unless our upcoming election goes beautifully, we'll get even worse.

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)

Iβve got a bug out zone extremely close to a bordering country thatβs self sufficient. Staying put unless things get wildly out of hand. We could probably house another 2 families if needed.
Can I call dibs?
I was about to say Mars, but Elon Rat plans to go there
Mars is boring
Choose a cooler planet like Pluto
Somewhere obscure in the U.K. Iβd rather struggle to survive there rather than as cannon fodder for some rich scum.
Just teleport me to L3 and be done with it. Earth-Moon, Sun-Earth, doesn't matter.
London. Thanks to the artefacts in the British Museum, nobody will dare to throw bombs there.
Famously, it didn't stop the Nazis.
I'm thinking NZ or AUS
You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.
nz just voted a facist goverment and australia deports migrants to islands in the middle of nowhere. no.
If the Americans are dumb enough to start a war with China, the Aus vasals are the first to go.
Better not move to a city then.
As an Australian, I'm often thinking about whether Russian or mandarin is the best language for me to learn. Definitely more rations for an interpreter
I'm staying right here in the imperial core where I can inflict the most damage when the time comes.
