Argentina probably. Generally the southern hemisphere is pretty safe. Nobody's wasting nukes on brown people, except maybe Israel.

Argentinians are mostly white.

Most Americans have no idea how historically similar the US and Argentina actually were. It's honestly weird that Argentina's similar circumstances didn't turn it into a great power like the US.

If we take its actual definition; far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist, countries like Cuba for sure fits the bill. Now Cuba is authoritarian (and normal since they are in permanent and genuine threat from its neighbor) and probably that is not what is in your mind. Latin America is, as many as you pointed out, no ideal... but most countries there at least lacks of a strong government to enforce things (for better or worse) so, in a turbulent world, it is indeed a better bet. I think, for the time being, Spain has proven to be resilient to authoritarianism and even the voters of "extreme" parties are not that extreme themselves! In Latin America, Mexico is proven to have an amazing leadership (today, I consider it the best worldwide) so unlikely to change overnight. Colombia, Chile and Uruguay seems promising too.

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

Somewhere in South America. Always wanted to go the Falklands. In reality I don't have the money for that. So I'm here on this hell ride to the bitter end.

If the world goes to shit and the UK is fighting with Russia, would Milei try to grab the Falklands?

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

You didn't need old fascism. the real fascism was inside you all along.

Considering Russia's interest in the islands, that might not be all that great of a choice.

London. Thanks to the artefacts in the British Museum, nobody will dare to throw bombs there.

Most of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it's probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.
