Hamasplaining

Hamasplaining (noun)
The act of confidently explaining Hamas to Palestinians who have actually lived under its rule—while dismissing their firsthand accounts whenever they contradict your ideology.
If Palestinians complain that Hamas uses them as human shields, steals their aid and ruins their lives, and you respond, “No no no, Hamas is Resistance,” you are Hamasplaining.

hansplaining 

Stating inaccurate facts about China. Conveniently repeating Chinese Communist Party propaganda worldview. They can be often located in their ideological bubble on Weibo (Twitter copy) or other CCP run social media pages, in rare cases you can meet them in the wild in Mass Media comment sections as well as Facebook and Twitter comments.
Their meeting and support group has its western HQ on r/Sino where they're sharing the newest fake news, CCP propaganda and secretly plotting on how to take over the world, just to miserably fail every time like Pinky and the Brain.
Any rational person: "China is running concentration camps and they're rounding up millions of Uighur's, it's coming close to a genocide"

Lin starting his hansplaining: "no ,no . is no like it, you just don't understand Chainer, is vocational camps with Chinese characteristics" and continues to hansplain how forcing Muslims to burn their holy books, drinking alcohol and eating pork is a good thing to fight alleged terror.

Hatesplaining 

when someone from an elite victimized class explains to a member of a majority group how racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic etc they are without any evidence of matching behavior or thought patterns to support their case. They often surround their accusation of bigotry with "weasle-words" like "subconscious", "passive" or "benevolent" to soften the blow of their "guilty-until-proven-innocent" stance. Disagreeing with a Hatesplainer is considered by them to be morally unacceptable, as they are generally incapable of tolerating any "diversity of thought".
These LGBTQIA+* people in some chat room are hatesplaining to me how racist, judgemental and hateful I am. I'm not oppressing anyone! They don't even know me! In their delusional world all white men are evil. Whatever happened to being judged by the content of your character?

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.
