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.

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.

A proto-Waterworld scenario!

The Pacific Garbage patch isn’t solid enough to dock on.

Also, Pacific atolls will be fucked, but high islands will be fine.

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…

Hah very different themes I’d say.

On the Beach is about all the people who thought it’d be a good idea to move to Australia in case all the nukes drop during the Cold War, and then the nukes drop and everyone in the northern hemisphere dies and they survive, but then they realize they’re just waiting for the natural wind patterns to bring all the radiation over to them to kill them too. The only way to win is not to play.

So similar in that they’re both very dismal.
