Where would you move to ride out a potential WWIII?

I think we should go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

All well and good until you turn up to see Farage posing with a pint.

I’m one of the lucky ones! Because of my service to our great country fighting against those dirty communists, when the bombs fall my family and I will be safe and sound, underground, in one of the local vaults in our area: Vault 108!

Oh shit… I just realized that it’s only a matter of time until Musk starts building vaults. Probably with a much worse name like vaultX

Dude that’s a long since passed look at the vaults in Hawaii with zuck. I hope they choke down there. Remember they all have air filters.

My crazy mom says she’s looking to move to Uruguay because when the nukes start falling they will most likely not have a ton of fallout to deal with.

I’m gonna run toward the light in that kind of scenario, personally. Nature will rebuild. In a WWIII scenario, the winner is evolution. Life will, uh, find its way.

It’s five and I’m driving home again

It’s hard to believe that it’s my last time

The man on the wireless cries again

“It’s over, it’s over”

It’s late and I’m with my love alone

We drink to forget the coming storm

We love to the sound of our favorite song

Over and over

Dancing, with tears in my eyes

Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

Dancing, with tears in my eyes

Living out a memory of a love that died

Behind the Bastards had a Christmas special non-bastard episode on the Tupamaros of Uruguay and Pepe Mujica. It does seem like they have some decent politics there.

Mujica might be the best politician that I saw in my life

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.

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.
