contrapreneur 

Portmanteau of "contra" and "entrepreneur." Someone who sees the business possibilities in reactionary and counter-revolutionary operations.
The #FusionRiseUp conference is a great place for a contrapreneur to get their startup recognized by the CIA and the State Department, so they can participate in future US-backed color "revolutions."

Contrarian: Yeah, but they're not really that indie, though.

Friend: I guess you're too contrary to vote Democrat or Republican, right? So, what, Libertarian? Green Party? ...Socialist Party?
Contrarian: Of course not, I don't think that any formal political party is a suitable representation of an individual's views.
Friend: *sigh*

Cuntrary 

Giving an opposing argument just to be a cunt.
"Mary, Mary, quite cuntrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row." - The Nursery Rhyme

Mary I of England attempted to restore England to catholicism, despite reforms made by her father Henry VIII and brother Edward VI. She was just trying to be a cunt.
