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.

Relationships
Friends
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.
Anarchism - You're probably never going to be the dominant ideology within society, so I can sleep well knowing we are probably friends forever.
Frenemies
- File:Prog.png 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.
Enemies
Conservatism - Keeping things the same is the worst. I would rather have disastrous change. All revolutions are good.
Reformism - I haven't got all day.
Liberalism - I'm so bored of you.
Democracy - Stupid popularity contest.
