i chose latin american because it's less willing to tow the global north's fascism trend than canada is, as evidenced by popular politicians like sheinbuam or maduro couching socialist changes within their constitution; effectively making their countries as fascist unfriendly as possible.
the central america countries are my most likely bets since that's where my legal entitlements exist and i'm fully aware that they each have elements of american conservatism. what's different about their conservatives is that they are that they're not empowered to be full fledged fascists like the americans et al. are; the global north's brand of fascism is unpalatable to most in latin america because of it's colonialist/zionist influence; and countries like mexico have pushed the envelope towards a socialist posture further than any of their predecessors have ever done in the past, giving them the best possible chance there is to survive american military interventions.
i already know from experience that cuba, chile, uraguay, and colombia are nonstarters because they don't have the physical places i require. however, they do atleast have something somewhat similar but they're expensive, unsustainable, and/or predatory; but they could nevertheless become a second option for me if needed it. brazil is also a non-starter for me also since i don't speak the language and i have zero experience with it. (i also know from experience that they're usually unable to understand my spanish because of my accent and the same is true in reverse).
i tried activism in my youth and learned the hard way that american's dgaf and for a myriad of reasons; some of them being justifiable. that experience has taught me that i'm better off leaving it to the people who can withstand much more than i can due to their lack of vulnerabilities like mine and others.
