No I understand what you mean, and I actually do have misanthropic tendencies myself saying that.
I think there's a lot of "trendy" misanthropes appearing right now, parhaps not surprising given the political climate at the moment. Some of these jump on it like it's a bandwagon, and then say the edgiest shit to make a point of how they feel. Are they genuine? Who knows. They're certainly attention seekers regardless.
For me, I would say I'm a "misanthrope"... but it's nothing personal. My dislike of people is just a dislike of how we (and I say "we" consciously because I'm not above it) act as a collective. It's more a dislike of society and the stupid shit "people" collectively do, or don't do, especially with what they stupidly tolerate from governments and figures of authority.
To a point, it's not about what individual people do, if that makes sense. When it comes to individuals, no I don't hate you, we can be cool and even have a good friendship/ relationship (double points if you're on my level with how I see things).
Also in response to your "well do something then!", I agree wholeheartedly and I actually do some of that stuff you said. Thing is, I'm just one person and I have no influence, so it's kind of an uphill battle in a world that's too busy being glued to their Iphones to notice shit going on.
