Stormspirit20: Umberto Eco is not a historian.
BetoReitenbach: Semiotics is in principle the discipline studying everything which can be used in order to lie. If something cannot be used to tell a lie, conversely it cannot be used to tell the truth: it cannot in fact be used “to tell” at all.
Umberto Eco, A Theory of Semiotics
RosesPaintedRed: this is what I admire most about Umberto Eco: while engaged with the prevailing post-structuralist literature on semiotics, he was also a talented medievalist familiar with pre-modern hermeneutics from orthodox Xtianity & Judaica as well as reading widely in analytic...
Billieiswriting: This is actually one way that anti-queerness bigotry fits well with fascism; fascism presents its enemies both strong and weak and that makes it also strong and weak

OkekeReginald: rest of their gang are all fascists.
To learn more about fascism i strongly suggest you read Umberto Eco's essay on the subject:
OkekeReginald: You see this narrative here, that of Igbos not being united, is a classic sign of Fascism. Because as the Scholar Umberto Eco writes, the Fascist regards his enemies as too strong and too weak at the same time. I mean, first they say that Igbos are taking over Lagos, that they

d_umadlpisani: “What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does.
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose.
MrV64303296: Umberto Eco was a genius semiotician. His mantra “the sign is not the thing” should be applied to the verbal miasma surrounding the word “woke.” One’s actions, not one’s words, define if you are helping others. Words help guide us but are meaningless, but conveyers of meaning.
MrV64303296: Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.
Umberto Eco
MrV64303296: Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.
Umberto Eco
MrV64303296: Sometimes you say things with a smile with the precise intention of making it clear that you are not being serious, and are only kidding. If I salute a friend with a smile and say, 'How are you, you old scoundrel!' clearly I don't really mean he's a scoundrel.
Umberto Eco
MrV64303296: It is sometimes hard to grasp the difference between identifying with one's own roots, understanding people with other roots, and judging what is good or bad.
Umberto Eco
MrV64303296: All the religious wars that have caused blood to be shed for centuries arise from passionate feelings and facile counter-positions, such as Us and Them, good and bad, white and black.
Umberto Eco
MrV64303296: The problem with the Internet is that it gives you everything - reliable material and crazy material. So the problem becomes, how do you discriminate?
