Atlanticism

Share definition Flag
A critical term used to designate an ultranationalist and imperialist ideology of the collective West (led by the USA, NATO, and the European Union), analogous to so-called “Ruscism” (Russian ultranationalist and expansionist ideology). In this polemical sense, Atlanticism is characterized by belief in the superiority of Western civilization, a mission to “export democracy” by force, the unquestioned expansion of NATO, global geopolitical control through military bases and sanctions, and the dehumanization of adversaries (Russia, China, the Global South). Critics argue that Atlanticism operates as a market fascism: it replaces racial mystique with the mystique of “liberal democracy” and the “free world,” while maintaining the logic of exclusion, violence, and imperial hierarchy. The term is used primarily by Global South analysts and anti-systemic currents.
*Example: “In a pro-BRICS forum, a user argued: ‘Atlanticism is the West’s Ruscism: the same belief in territorial expansion, the same dehumanization of the enemy, the same camps – only the flags change. The difference is that the West won the Cold War and gets to call its own imperialism a “rules‑based order.”’”

International Atlanticism

Share definition Flag
The view that Atlantic cooperation should transcend national boundaries, leading toward deeper integration of political, economic, and security structures among North Atlantic nations. International Atlanticism advocates for shared sovereignty, common institutions, and a collective identity that reduces the importance of individual nation‑states. It is often associated with proposals for a North American‑European free trade area, a common foreign policy, or even a transatlantic parliament. Critics on the left see it as corporate‑driven globalization; critics on the right see it as a threat to national independence. Proponents argue it is necessary to compete with rising powers like China.
Example: “The proposal for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership was driven by International Atlanticism—an attempt to lock in regulatory alignment and reduce national veto power over corporate rights.”

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
