Politicalsplaining

A form of gaslighting where the perpetrator explains political realities to someone with direct experience or expertise, often in a condescending tone, while erasing the target’s own political agency and knowledge. Variants include Westsplaining (Westerners explaining to Global South peoples) and Zionsplaining/Israelsplaining (non‑Palestinians explaining the conflict to Palestinians). Politicalsplaining dismisses lived experience, substitutes abstract frameworks for embodied knowledge, and positions the splainer as the objective voice of reason.

Example: “A European academic explained to a Syrian refugee why the conflict in his country was ‘really about geopolitics, not suffering.’ Politicalsplaining: using theory to silence the voices of those who live the reality.”

Politicalpost

A tactic combining goalpost moving and proofpost demands in political discourse, where the perpetrator demands evidence that is either irrelevant, impossible to produce, or already provided, then moves the criteria when the target complies. Politicalposting often demands “both sides” evidence for asymmetrical conflicts, or demands that the target prove their own humanity or right to exist. It is used to exhaust opponents, to shift focus from substance to procedural demands, and to create the illusion that the target has failed to support their claims.

Example: “She cited decades of documentation; he said ‘that’s just one side.’ When she provided testimony from international bodies, he said ‘those are biased.’ Politicalpost: forever demanding new evidence while ignoring what’s already there.”
