idealism

cynically said: the art to believe in utopias.
realistically said: following principles and dreams.
This guy changed his idealism for pragmatism when he came to power.

idealist

Someone who thinks everyone should think like them, and that how they think is absolute.
They are more likely to be called "delusional", even when they are right sometimes. They are also someone who's bound to be disappointed in the whole world after they give up on their endless pursuit of changing the world, even if their intentions are most noble. They are prone to using substances for coping up with the harsh reality they live in because it cripples their soul when they can't do anything about it.

The average person can't survive as a 100% idealist. Some amount of realism must be adopted. Otherwise you're just a hippy.
For instance,

Facebook Idealist.

These are the people on Facebook who like to bitch about poverty, war, domestic violence, child abuse, rape, bank robberies, starving children in Africa, liberals/conservatives, Democrats/Republicans, alcohol, drugs, pedophiles, computer hackers, the drug dealer next door, pornography, music, Devil-worshipers, endangered animals, racist jokes, holocaust jokes, religion jokes, political (in)correctness, religion (or lack thereof), animal rights, oppressive work conditions, sexual harassment, or how much their life sucks.

Like most idealists, Facebook Idealists hardly, if ever, lift a finger to combat the perceived evils in the world. They complain because they can't be bothered with finding, or lack the intellectual capacity to find real world solutions to humanities, or even their own, problems. In essence, they're whiny little idiots.
Guy 1: Look at this chick on Facebook saying "I wish solders didnt have to goes to warz, and that AIDS wasnt real!!!!! :(:(:(:("

Girl 1: Wow what a Facebook Idealist.

Guy 2: We all know one

Girl 2: And hate one.

Champagne Idealist

An artist or actor who always use the same crap about peace, love, ecology etc.in songs or movies to make conscience, but doesn't practices what he preaches. He has a rich lifestyle, divorced many times, and consumes products and services without thinking in global warming like everyone else.
I'm sick of people who thinks John Lennon is an inspiration, he got rich selling records like every artist and had a shit personal life. He was just a Champagne Idealist who brainwashed the people with the "peace and love I'll save the world" shit.
