I hear many say that, but these are often the same ones that enjoy parties and crowded bars. They choose to throw themselves into large infestations of humans. No, I hate people. I don’t hate individuals, at least not each one by default, but rather people as a whole. I have a deep loathing for our species. Not only because of what we do, but because of what we are. Apes with big brains and bigger egos, meandering around and chasing after all our meaningless goals; trying to satisfy all our pathetic little delusions. Filthy mammals with unnecessary complexity. We are disgusting bodies, covered with sweat, bacteria and dead skin, and filled with mush and excrement.  Continually succumbing to the most basic life instinct to propagate and carry on this pointless little charade.

I agree with most of that.
I’m one who says that, but can’t stand crowds, and avoids people whenever i can. OTOH, i also think that people can be pretty awesome sometimes, in some ways. I find “people” quite fascinating, and yet, the phrases “i hate people,” “people are stupid,” “people suck,” often erupt from me.
Those of which you speak, the “false people-haters,” often misuse language in various ways, for various reasons.
It’s like it’s cool to be uncool, and so everyone has to do whatever it is they think most people wouldn’t do… but this creates a situation where everyone’s trying to do whatever “everyone else” wouldn’t, thereby attempting to be cool via uncoolness… and suddenly we have an infinitely compounding hipster conundrum, where everyone hates everyone, themselves, and everything else, just because it’s cool to hate everything now.
But you know what?
I hated everything before hating everything was cool.
I hated “hipsters” before hating hipsters was cool… before they even had a name.
I hated stuff “just because,” and way before hating stuff because it’s cool, was cool.
I feel i should apologize to everyone for inadvertently spawning the infinite hipster paradox. I had no idea what would happen. I just thought it was stupid that people always seemed to flock to whatever they were told was cool, often displacing those who were there before it was “cool.”
And now look. HIPSTERS! ALL OF YOU!
AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
