Contrarianism is an economically, culturally, and socially variable ideology whose only defining feature is opposing any currently prevailing political ideologies and their respective policies. An offshoot of 
Apoliticism, Contrarianism does not have any distinct policies of its own, sometimes taking an opposite stance to the powers that be, but often providing no alternative at all, merely leveling criticism without offering any substitute.
In practice, Contrarianism really only works at all when holding an existing government to account, typically proving unelectable. It is a prime example of an ideology that makes for a much better opposition than it does an incumbent.
Beliefs
Contrarianism believes solely in berating and lamenting existing political norms, whatever they may be. Whilst this often sees it occupy left-wing or progressive territory, there are no fixed Contrarian ideals, and under a left-leaning regime, Contrarianism could also function as a vehicle for reactionary, right-wing thought.
Personality
Whether anyone else says an opinion or even an objective fact, Contrarianism goes out of the way to say the opposite, no matter how absurd or illogical it is.

Relationships
Critical Thinkers
Apoliticism - Daddy taught me well. Politics is hopeless. Although I do find complaining a lot more fun than grilling.
Anti-Centrism - Challenge those political norms, am I right? But if you ever succeed, I will complain about you a lot as well.
Anti-Realism - Just like the above but more interesting, so to say.
Anarchism - You're probably never going to be the dominant ideology within society, so I can sleep well knowing we are probably friends forever.
Marxism - Ruthless criticism of society, you say? Pretty based. Plus you're probably not going to become the status quo, just like the above.
Alt-Lite & 
Libertarianism - Opposition to mainstream politics from the right? Also based. But again, if you succeed I will complain about you too.
Alt-Right - Like the above but even less mainstream and more racist.
Insurrectionary Anarchism - Hell yeah, destroy every political norm, baby!
Frenemies
Revolutionary Progressivism - I like how you make things change, but if the government gets too progressive, I will have to become a reactionary, and then we can't be friends.
Reactionarism - I like how you make things go back to a golden age. But if the government gets too reactionary, I will have to become a progressive, and then you can't come to my birthday party.
Radical Apoliticism - We both think that politics sucks, but taking a side isn't entirely a bad thing...
Radical Centrism - Yes, every side can be wrong... Wait, why are you embracing certain status quo ideas?! Stop that!
Dead Centrism - Half and half? How about zero and zero?
Paleoconservatism - Bring back the "wonder years" yet no more changes? C'mon! Male decision. I can wait.
St*tus Quo
Conservatism - Keeping things the same is the worst. I would rather have a disastrous change. All revolutions are good.
Neoliberalism & 
Neoconservatism - F**k the status quo.
Reformism - Modify the status quo, technically is still the status quo.
Liberalism - I'm so bored of you.
Liberal Conservatism - Worst of two worlds.
Democracy - Stupid popularity contest.
Pink Capitalism - I need a plan "B"...
