It amazes me that people in this day and age dont see this as a dumb move. People have been trying to find the "good" place to be for all of our history. We're all connected, like it or not, and if the world is suffering so will you.

Agreed. The premise of this question is absurd, because there are too many unknowns, and there's no such thing as complete or guaranteed safety. The best place to be is going to vary a lot based on what kind of catastrophic event happens first, how the world responds to it, and on an individual level, what sorts of hardship you're willing and able to ride out.

Even you identify some r/RemotePlaces where a person like you would thrive, and is likely to be less hard hit by any of the likely apocalyptic scenarios, the problem then becomes that you certainly won't be the only one headed there. Costs of living and competition for basic resources will skyrocket.

I think you don't realise it's not normal to elect presidents like trump and raid capitals.
