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

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.

cognitive dissidence 

It's basically when one reality collides with another reality and you don't have the ability to say I'll pick reality 'A' instead of reality 'B'. You have to figure out a way to coexist with the current reality and it usually produces some kind of dysfunction.

Cognitive dissidence is what happens to children when they're molested by a parent where their total source of security is also the source that betrays them.

This is also relative to Germany and the peoples response to Hitler.

Another example for United States citizens, where some people who were saying they had to vote for the man with integrity, therefore they had to vote for George W. Bush. Now that it has been made so apparent to all of us that Bush and his administration are a source of betrayal to our Constitution and our true values.

These are just a few examples but it goes way beyond these. It can happen in a million different ways.

We are dominated by everything with which our self becomes identified. We can
dominate and control everything from which we disidentify ourselves.
(Roberto Assagioli)
When we disidentify ourselves from the things in life that come and go all of the sudden our sense of self becomes more stable, strong and secure.
(Jason Schneider)
Who are we when we disidentify? The personal self, the conductor of the orchestra of subpersonalities is the obvious answer, and the ‘clear space’ created through disidentification certainly puts us in touch with this central, choosing aspect of our psyche.
