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.

Basically, the person who hates on <insert popular thing here> because everyone is talking about it, usually without even digging into why it's popular. They just hate it because they think it will make them a much cooler person.

Relationships

Critical Thinkers

  • Apoliticism - Daddy taught me well. Politics is hopeless. Although I do find complaining a lot more fun than grilling.
  • Anti-Centrism - Burn the fence down.
  • 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're probably going to be friends forever.
  • Marxism - Ruthless criticism of society, you say? Pretty based. Plus you're also probably not going to become the status quo anytime soon.
  • 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.
  • Alt-Right Libertarianism - A fusion of alt-right/lite and libertarianism is a great idea because it is even more anti-mainstream.
  • Insurrectionary Anarchism - Hell yeah, destroy every political norm, baby!
  • Populism - Anything the elite supports is automatically cringe.
  • Anarcho-Nihilism - Negation of every political system? Based!

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.
  • Progressive Conservatism - You're too slow!
  • Soulism - You hate current reality with the status quo, and you just... escape from it by shifting to your personal utopia? Why you are such a defeatist?
