What word would be closest to dissident: rebel, dishonest person or a foolish person?

A dissident is a person who disagrees. A rebel is one who resists authority or rises up in arms against the government claiming legal authority, over him. Rebel would be closer to dissident, than to dishonest person or foolish person, but it's a bit far from a synonym, for dissident.

A rebel would seem necessarily to be a dissident, but a dissident would not necessarily be a rebel. Being a rebel would almost certainly involve a disagreement, with some issue or issues, and; therefore, include the meaning of dissident.

A dissident disagrees with something, but dissident implies neither resistance to authority nor armed insurrection. A dissident is not necessarily a rebel. One who is dissident might also be dishonest or foolish, but those attributes are not implied by the word dissident.

All rebels are dissidents, but not all dissidents are rebels. If you can accept the seeming contradiction, dissident is close to rebel, but rebel is not close to dissident.

While you're at it, try to not gossip or slander anyone around you.

It holds the cultivation of moral character and embodiment of virtues as the essential issues in ethics, rather than the establishment of rules based on duties or consequentialism.

The friend who was given the ability to borrow the car now has a right to the car in the evening.
