    Since no one ever was able to convince me that the USSR killed 6942002496 people a second

    TBH there is a bit of a gap in the fossil record or crockoduck or Non-sequitur there if you think about it.

    There are 2 easily verifiable facts.

    A. Lenin and Stalin had some ideological beliefs we can loosely refer to with words like Marxism, Socialism, etc…

    B. Some people died in the USSR.

    Now a normal person may presume something like correlation does not imply causation. And normal people remember in Math class where if you didn’t show your work, you get a zero.

    But Liberals have this neat trick where they present this information as verified proven causation, BUT NEVER FUCKING DRAW A LINE FROM A → B. Everything that pretends to is a bunch of obvious baloney.

    I feel like we need a formal term for this general concept.
