Dissipant

Portmanteau of "dissident" + "pissant." A neoconservative who cosplays as an independent, principled contrarian breaking from the establishment consensus, while in reality just recycling the same tired hawkish, regime-change orthodoxy as everyone else in the movement. The political equivalent of calling yourself a rebel while reading straight off the party script.

Turn on the news and there's another big dissipant neocon, beating the war drum for the tenth country this decade and calling it 'independent thought.
