Armchair idealist 

There are three types of people in the world: people who care, people who couldn't care less, and armchair idealists. Armchair idealists are by far the most annoying. These people love to comment and criticise others' appalling behaviour yet refrain from actually moving from their seats and doing something about it. This can commonly apply to issues such as the environment, world peace, starving children, etc.

Idealization 

Idealization is a form of an emotional state when you love or adore someone, you mistakenly believe that he/she has way more positives compare to negatives.

You may idealize a druggie, believing that other than the drug abuse pattern of that person, he is actually amazing. You believe that actually he could be very successful, handsome or calm. This is one of the most common moronic idealization example of our popular culture.

OR you may idealize and fall in love with a girl who has been victimized in her entire life and the world treated her so unfairly, thats why she is so miserable and disfunctional in her daily life. You may want to believe that, she actually could be an amazing princess. NO, moron. She has a pattern of living that way, and even if nobody treats her that way, she will create that environment for herself by attracting dramatic negative energy around her and its not even a conscious process.

Summarized : Idealization is a powerful drug.
A: Hey Kelly, I heard that your boyfriend cheated on you again then he instantly apologized and you have forgiven her for 13th time. ... Again. Whats up with that?
K: Look, He is an amazing guy, but he just has a high sexual appetite, ok? He is smart and funny and alittle bit dorky. I love him no matter what he does and I can live with it..
A: That's good. Keep doing it. You are high on idealization rAtard.

2- The economy, must at all times lie exclusively in the hands and control of the people at the individual level.

Pseudo-idealism 

- The strategy of participating in the pursuit for ideality for one’s self, by behaving in an apparent charitable manner, with underlying selfish intentions to validate and reinforce ones sence of self.

This is a false state of idealism because to behave “charitably” is to put on an act or facade. It is “do good to feel good” behavior. It’s a form of dogma, not understanding, therefore it is a false state of idealism.
Political correctness is a form of pseudo-idealism, because it advocates for people to be dishonest or ‘dumb-down’ words and opinions in order to not offend individuals.”

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
