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 โ†’ B. Everything that pretends to is a bunch of obvious baloney.

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