peacemongers
Anti-conflict activists zealously
Peacemongers are people who advocate aggressively for peace, used sarcastically or disparagingly to suggest naivety or excessive idealism.
The word mirrors *warmonger* but inverts it—where warmongers push for conflict, peacemongers push for resolution, sometimes to the point critics find unrealistic: The senator dismissed the protesters as peacemongers who don't understand geopolitics.
