Tor had a militaristic orientation? That must have been before the Nielsen Haydens were running it - my first instinct was to think "surely he means Baen, yes?"

Tor had a militaristic orientation? That must have been before the Nielsen Haydens were running it - my first instinct was to think "surely he means Baen, yes?" But Baen was always niche even for sf, so far as I can tell.
Irrelevant personal politics aside and in entire fairness to Stross, his use of "fascist" in this article is quoting someone who had complained about the fascism supposedly implicit in worldbuilding.
