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.

Get the idealist mug.by Killing Kittens March 17, 2005
Get the idealist mug.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.
Armchair idealist, carrying plastic bags in each hand: "You should always use reusable shopping bags!"

Get the Armchair idealist mug.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.

Get the Facebook Idealist. mug.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.

Get the Champagne Idealist mug.The small school was run by DIII Idealists so they would never win a national championship.
National Powerhouses make millions in revenue from sports, while the DIII Idealist schools are happy just getting good grades.

Get the DIII Idealist mug.An individual who attributes their personal challenges and frustrations to society, the average person, or systemic flaws, rather than engaging in self-reflection or taking responsibility. They vocalize their grievances with moral certainty yet remain trapped in a cycle of denial and inertia, resisting meaningful personal growth.
Example:
“Despite his constant critiques of society and ‘the common man,’ he refuses to examine his own faults — a quintessential deflective idealist.”
