Cory Doctorow on Nostr: The joke was that opposing fascism made you an enemy of America - *unless* you did so ...
The joke was that opposing fascism made you an enemy of America - *unless* you did so *after* the rest of America had woken up to the existential threat of a global fascist takeover. What's more, if you were a "premature antifascist," you got no credit for fighting fascism early on. Quite the contrary: fighting fascism before the rest of the US caught up with you didn't make you prescient - it made you a pariah.
