[ "peacenik" ]
1: Someone who takes the respectable position of non-violence to an absurd degree. Specializes in feel-good, kumbaya messages (bumper sticker slogans) that sound nice but solve nothing. Even when an obvious evil is running amok (Hitler or Stalin), they do little but draw anti-war signs. These kind of people are extremely disdainful of US and Israeli troops, but have little to say about groups like ISIS or hamas.
* e.g., ... "I told that peacenik that evil dictators couldn't care less about their signs and rallies."
