Faithsplaining 

The act of someone from outside a religion trying to explain aspects of that religion to someone who practices it. Note: It isn't always derogatory not everyone reads their own holy book and not every outsider is ill informed, but it does often come off as annoying to the person receiving the explanation.
Buddhist: "So yeah my religion is Buddhism"

Atheist: "Akshually Buddhism isn't a religion"

factsplaining

fact·splain | \ ˈfact-ˌsplān

factsplained; factsplaining

Definition of factsplain
transitive + intransitive

: the uninvited and condescending effort of a third party (usually, though not always, on social media platforms) to offer extraneous information (“context”) or further explanation on a given subject/topic, while invariably posing itself as objectively factual, despite its content and purpose invariably being the promotion or defense of a partisan (progressive, leftist) idea, premise, value, cause, figure, etc.

It is often characterized by cloaking subjective opinions and partisan perspectives amidst the excessive use of officious-sounding terms and declarations such as “Ruling” “Context” “Evidence” “Credible” “Finding” “Determination” “Conclusion” “Result”, etc. or may strive to confirm or deny information on the basis of mere nuance, minor technicalities, irrelevancies, or other specious rationale.

In both form and content, factsplaining attempts to discredit the original information, although rarely if ever actually doing so, and its presence therefore may best be understood as a strong indicator of the original content’s truth or accuracy.

Prominent factsplainers: Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, Reuters, AP

See also: bias, propaganda, spin, gaslighting, censorship, partisanship

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
