réalisivist
Ralisivist is a term that emerged in the early 21st century, generally referring to individuals or groups who advocate for a pragmatic and often unembellished approach to problem-solving, particularly in political and social contexts. The core tenet of ralisivism is a focus on achievable outcomes, grounded in existing realities and available resources, rather than idealistic or theoretical aspirations. Ralisivists tend to be skeptical of grand narratives or revolutionary ideologies, preferring incremental progress and evidence-based decision-making. This perspective often involves a willingness to compromise and a rejection of ideological purity. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "réaliste" (French for realist) and "activist," suggesting a blend of pragmatic understanding and a desire for action. While not a formal political movement, ralisivist thinking can be observed across various political spectra, often associated with centrist or moderate viewpoints. Critics sometimes label ralisivism as overly cautious or lacking in vision, while proponents argue it is a necessary antidote to unproductive ideological battles and a path to genuine, sustainable change.
