The horrible man wondered what it would be like to throw a party in his neighbour's house. When his neighbour left for the weekend, leaving a house-sitter in charge of the house, the horrible man paid the house-sitter a visit, got chatting and got him blind drunk.

He told a lie and then immediately said "but the fake news media will lie and disagree with me". Now the press can't call him on his lie without looking like liars themselves and neutral bystanders feel like they have to take a middle-ground. That's some shady liejacking right there.

The new girl was quietly different, had a lot of piercings and kept to herself. They didn't like the look of her. One girl one day said "she's blatantly secretly a bully and just hasn't found her victim yet". Thus, they began to yell "bullygirl" at her every day at school. Because of this liejack, everyone else just presumed she was a bully that had been found out and some even started to join in. It only stopped when she finally moved schools.

The common practise of identifying a problem without even attempting to suggest a solution.
This can range from tangible problems (e.g. a broken cupboard door that is simply flagged to housemates via WhatsApp) to more intangible problems (e.g. a therapist merely pointing out toxic behaviours without offering suggestions for how to change those behaviours and/or what aspirational healthy behaviours could look like).
Those that practice this often feel that through identifying a problem they have done their bit or done enough. In reality, without the follow-through, the problem remains but we just see it more clearly.
