How To Spot a Contrariot

A contrariot thrives on opposing opinions, often ignoring logic for the sake of argument.

They’ll take a contrarian stance even when it’s nonsensical. Look for these telltale signs:

1. Unshakable Confidence: They’ll defend outlandish claims with absolute certainty.

2. Selective “Research”: Their evidence often comes from dubious sources they call “credible.”

3. Argument for Argument’s Sake: They oppose not to contribute, but to disrupt.

4. Exaggerated Theatrics: Expect dramatic language and an “I’m just saying” attitude.

Engage lightly, but don’t expect to win an argument—they’re committed to their cause, no matter how absurd.
