To gather with others for the purpose of sharing mutual hatred, resentment, or disdain toward someone or something — not necessarily to plan action, but to bond through shared negative feelings.
Etymology:
A portmanteau of commiserate (to share in sorrow) and hate — reflecting the act of emotionally connecting through shared hostility rather than shared suffering.
Note:
Unlike conspire or hate-monger, commiserhate doesn’t imply violence or incitement — only emotional venting and social bonding over animosity.
