Why Paraguay?

1. Culturally, it's still close to Europe/US (compared to, say, Asia).

2. There's plenty of space, and it's relatively easy to live "off the radar" (hectares of land can be bought cheaply, and building permits are processed quickly).

3. Paraguay has excellent cuisine (top-quality beef in the world).

4. The locals are welcoming—if you make at least a minimal effort to integrate (basic Spanish and respect for local culture), they will accept you with open arms.

5. Taxes—Paraguay has a territorial tax system and a very simple tax structure (10% on local income).

6. If you stay away from politics and drugs, it's quite safe. Some of the better neighborhoods in Asunción are very safe (even at night).

7. No culture wars.

8. Crypto-friendly—capital gains from crypto are not taxed, and it's even possible to buy real estate with crypto. Plus, there is now a strong Bitcoin community (nostr:nprofile1qqs060dkmmlmww0cqcpxaqw3erveesj950ecdt9m4w5dexphzrr7sxsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uptclu0).

9. Family-friendly—Paraguayans love children, and family comes first.

10. Business environment—Paraguayans are capitalists, and a large portion of the population runs their own businesses. Success is celebrated, not shamed. There are also plenty of opportunities to start new ventures.

11. Geopolitically insignificant—South America is not a major geopolitical player and remains largely disconnected from the developed world (though this is changing rapidly).

12. Cheap transportation—you can get around the city (Asunción) using Bolt or Uber for $1.5–$5 (depending on distance). Diesel costs around $1 per liter. If you like big cars, it won’t hurt your wallet as much.

I could go on, but I think this gives a good idea...

Thanks for the input! Definitely helpful to have those information when keep wondering ‘where *can* one still go to live?!’

I am relatively new on #nostr. I appreciate being here, what nostr stands for and the open way of communication.

Simultaneously, I am somewhat irritated and surprised about the general consensus of people here seeming to reflexively hate anything remotely “woke”. Taking aside what the idea of wokeness has recently been co-opted for; At the base being ‘woke’ simply means being aware: being aware of– and speaking up to inequalities and injustices within our societies.

Maybe I am so shocked because I somehow thought that, even if one doesn’t experience discrimination first hand, one can and *should* be still able to recognize those inequalities and one’s own privileges. And even if one doesn’t fight actively against their remedy, at the very least acknowledge them and don’t belittle them or even worse: dismiss them as non existent.

Don’t have such fragile little egos, people! Being privileged doesn’t mean that you are a bad person and it sure as hell doesn’t mean that you have a easy life! You can be privileged regarding one aspect and marginalized in another.

Also don’t confuse freedom of speech and “having an opinion” with a free pass to overrule other people’s actual lived experiences on topics you may not have lived experience with. That’s presumptuous. #introductions

I am sorry, but unless you are willing to take the precautions available to you as a man that your sex partner is not getting pregnant (IF she doesn’t wish to become pregnant) that is really nothing for you to judge or comment on. YOU, as a man, will not be left with the consequences of unprotected sex. Not your body, not your choice. And, btw, I know for a fact that many women would rather not take hormonal birth control, but are left alone to figure out how to have sex without becoming pregnant because they are in a relationship in which the partner is either not willing or simply doesn’t give it much thought what HE can do to prevent a pregnancy, bc HE will not be the one being pregnant and birthing a child.

Love it! Such a beautiful winter squash! Wish we’d be able to grow pumpkins- only a matter of time each season that the squash beetles get to them and kill them all!
