Basically its called playing the game CORRECTLY or playing like you just DONT care!
"Correctly" by whose definition of the term? And under what circumstances? You might find it interesting to check out a book called Kill Phil -a serious book by very good players - that lays out a strategy quite a few players might regard as donk-like.

I am referign to the players that lets say the "decent" player is raising 4/5x BB and the DONK is going all in with like 10 7 off and cathing 2 pair or str8 etc. I mean players that just play like complete Idiots without a care in the world whenther they win or not!
In poker, there are poker players andgamblers, the two are entirely different, but at some stage of any game you have to switch roles or you will never win. Do you play to survive till you reach the cash? or do you play to take it all down? You cannot get playable cards every hand so the gambler has to come out or the blinds will kill you. The question you have to ask yourself is if you were at the final table of the WSOP and your all in with JJ and get called with 78 suited and they made a str8 or a flush, would you jump up and call the winner a donk,tool arseole etc? I think not. In the long run the players you refer to as donks will stick to freerolls only because they will lose cash at the buy in games in double quick time. They don't understand pot odds, implied odds, variance, hand strength,,,,,you get my drift.
U cannot benefit from being knocked out of a tournament by a DONK! There IS no return investment coz ur OUT.
Also going all in at the end stages of a torney is expected a it is down to the fact that you need to pick a marginal or hopefully AA (never comes for me lol) and stick your chips in, going all in with garbage at the begining IS JUST DONKNESS
