No. Moving elsewhere is a high emotional and financial cost that I will avoid until it is not possible to avoid anymore (also, where in the world is safe of fascism rn?)

I could give a ton of counter examples based only in Brazil

A concerning example regarding what I'm saying is the fact that over Rio de Janeiro there are drug cartels which distribute cocaine packed in Israel's flag. I wish I was kidding.

Is it because they're Jewish? They support Palestine's genocide? No, they're Christian Neopentecostal Evangelicals who apply their (unofficial but VERY real) rules based on the Bible and make money over cocaine cartels. Israel's flag is a way of showing they are God's chosen and the true governors of Rio de Janeiro.

This is only a superficial example.

See, when we analyze Latin America countries, one cannot think exclusively in terms of US or Europe political science. Our states may seem like weak forces when scrutinized from afar, however this is exactly the problem. Fascism has different ways of spreading through institutions and evangelical militias or drug cartels are literally everywhere. Sometimes, our states do not enforce fascism by law. They are weak on surface and extremely dangerous in their militias and affiliations with drug cartels. The contradiction is the rule around here. Mexico is not the heaven you make it sound. Do not trust a country's safety based on official governments, it is a starter error when analyzing Latin America politics

Least likely to be involved... Unless Bolsonaro or any other dumbass decides it would be fun to lick Trump's ass, which is very likely to happen if they arise to power in 2026. I wouldn't be sure about that least likely remark. Also, there are ways to live in a fascist state even if it is not involved directly in a war - Getúlio Vargas is the name that comes to my mind, only to start

Everyone saying Latin America has absolutely no clue about what Latin America is, lol. The only place safe from fascism rn is either another planet or being dead.

Estão prometendo essa pedrada aí desde que eu nasci, e não entregaram nem o trem comum entre Campinas e São Paulo ainda. Só acredito vendo

Well, it's not like a lot of public infra was properly designed, is it?
