cognitive dissident 

A person for whom exposure to cognitive dissonance has resulted in rational conclusions contrary to the 'official' narrative of history and/or culture. If this dissonance becomes great enough, the person will be compelled to start producing new cognitive dissonance, becoming a cognitive dissident.

An activist who disseminates information aimed at changing peoples opinions regarding an immoral status-quo could be regarded as a cognitive dissident

The provos have sold out, De Valera style..... At least the Continuity IRA (Dissidents) are still fighting for a united 32 county republic.

dissident

someone who often disagrees with you but who has your best interests at heart. Always rejects violence so cannot be called a terrorist or an anarchist. Generally dies young or never leaves the house (see house arrest).
Syntactically - dissident (which is a noun) has no associated verb stem. You cannot 'dissid'. You can do nothing dissidently - there is no associated adjective. In fact the word exists alone as an island in a sea of semantics. Perhaps this is why the meaning of the word has persisted unchanged for such a long time.

I'm gonna diss that dissident.

lips-spluttering dissent

A super-strongly-expressed declining/disagreeing gesture, involving tightly shutting one's eyes and shaking one's head back and forth so rapidly/forcefully that one's cheeks/lips waggle violently from side to side; this is often accompanied by exhaling/humming so as to produce a loud rhythmic burbling sound as the head is shaken. Most often used by younger children, though adults may occasionally display the gesture, especially in regards to a topic that they feel extra-emotionally-charged about.

School menu-advisor, interviewing a new kindergarten student to learn his food-preferences: So you like oatmeal with milk and raisins okay... that's good... well, then, how about buckwheat cereal?
Youngster, assuming a horrified facial-expression and almost turning green before scrunching up his face and vigorously shaking his head: Wvvbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl-vbwlvbl!
School menu-advisor, amusedly marking "no" on the list of cafeteria-selections: Okay --- MAJOR lips-spluttering dissent on THAT one!
