Is it the fear of AI and automation, or fascist laws that severely restrict freedom, or is it about future wars, hunger or a worsening climate?

    +++ Climate change is going to lead to more healthcare challenges and will lead to increased cost of living (insurance, foodstuffs , energy). Switch to solar energy, lead a more modest life with local products (support local producers) become a vegetarian, lead by example. +++ More international conflict: Russia/Nato states, USA/China, China/APJ, Africa. Make sure passport is up to date, look at options to quickly leave. Buy local produce, stock up water and food. +++ AI may lead to a stock market crash. Diversify your savings (you should do that anyway). It will lead to shifts in the job market (like the steam engine, the internet). Adapt or become irrelevant. +++ States are becoming more rightwing / fascist. Be politically active, vote for the right party, change the party and system from within, donate to the right projects, speak out, use the skills you are good at to make a change. +++ Enjoy life, it could well be the best is already behind us. Be kind, be friendly, help people. Have a plan.

      Very few will be able to afford to flee anywhere, and in most cases, the fugitives may not only fail to flee fascism, but will be poorer than they were when they left their homes.

        You’re never too poor to afford fleeing somewhere else, just not desperate enough to try. Look at the thousands that risk their lives every year crossing countries by foot or go into the sea in rickety boats.
