Canada if possible. My family only speaks English, but willing to "do the thing" to fit in even if that's learning a new language.

I'd also be ok with UK, Australia, New Zealand.

last places would be Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Japan. I know living in these places would be an extreme challenge for my family so that's why they're bottom of my list.

Any country where healthcare and higher education are considered human rights and not commodities will work for me.

I was trying to repatriate to Italy but they closed down the policy that would have let me return with my family.

Maybe Scotland. If they could fully separate from the dead weight down south.

I'd be in Aukland now if I hadn't met my partner between deciding in 2021 and the election. She is a refugee and can't leave or she'll lose status. She is a political enemy of her government for advocating for democracy there. Did a phone interview and everything.

Anywhere cold, with decent social services, good shipping, and people that leave me alone on the whole.

Someplace in the Anglosphere. I don't think I have it in me to learn a new language just to get by in day-to-day life. New Zealand, maybe.

Unfortunately, my immensely low income and numerous medical issues means that I'm not much of a candidate for emigration.

Also, ideally, a region without a lot of insects.

In any case, though, I'm probably going to die here, stubbornly. If these fascist fucks want me dead bad enough to see it through, I'm at least going to inconvenience them with getting rid of my body.

I moved to Japan back in 2015. If I had it to do over, I might do Finland or Norway.

If I wasn’t locked into this contract with my house I would be applying for work programs in New Zealand on my way to citizenship. When Trump was elected, the first thought that went through my head was, I don’t like winter, so Canada and the Nordics are out. Europe is 0-2 for getting destroyed in World Wars and WW3 is heating up. Africa has its own problems right now, as does South America, and regardless of where you go in Asia it’s not looking good for WW3. So options were Central America or Oceania. I know passable amounts of Spanish, and lived in Central America for a while and I would definitely be OK going back. But if I’m going to move somewhere might as well be somewhere new.

I would go back to Japan if my partner could/would learn the language.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

My grandfather was Finnish, so that seems like a natural choice, but I would probably say Uruguay because it seems like a nice relatively affordable place and I could improve my (terrible) Spanish (i don't speak any Finnish).

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Probably Romania, cheap cost of living while still being in Europe and being a part of NATO.

Canada. I live on the border, been there more times than I can count, and it would be the easiest to move to.
