Contrarianism is an economically, culturally, and socially variable ideology whose only defining feature is opposing any currently prevailing political ideologies and their respective policies. 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.

Variants

Encyclopedia Dramatica Model

The Encyclopedia Dramatica Model represents the ideology of Encyclopedia Dramatica, a general contrarian, satirical online community centered around a wiki that acts as a "troll archive". Its primary purpose is to write satirical articles about internet phenomena in the most vulgar and lulzy way possible. Anything is mockable from left to right, so long as the article strives for "lulz", then it is acceptable. The culture bears familiarity with early internet culture, especially that relating to 4chan.

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

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.
  • Reactionaryism - 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.
  • Neoreactionaryism - Geek son of above.
  • Reactionary Liberalism - And also his moderate son who's mildly more pro-status quo.
  • Radical Apoliticism - We both think that the status quo sucks, but we don't need to kill all ideologies.
  • Radical Centrism - Yes, every side can be wrong... Wait, why are you embracing certain status quo ideas?! Stop that!
  • Paleoconservatism & Classical Conservatism - The past was better than the present (still opposed it).
  • Progressive Conservatism - What? Make up your mind already!
  • 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?
  • Manosphere - Go against feminism? Depends on which country we're talking about. If the country we're talking about is pro-feminist, I'm with you, but if it's anti-feminist, I'm not.
  • State Atheism - We usually get along except when he succeeded which fortunately is not very common.
  • Left-Wing Populism & Right-Wing Populism - Good opposition, but unfortunately you have become the establishment in some countries; but at least they usually still oppose the supranational entities that conform the current thing.
  • Welfare Chauvinism - Synthesis of the two above but you also have your moments of being part of the current thing.
  • Paternalistic Conservatism, Left-Wing Nationalism, National Communism, and Conservative Socialism - Also the opposite of the global status quo, but are or have been the local one.
