When used in a tongue-in-cheek sense, I guess I would put it on the same category as "pet peeves". In the literal sense, you're right, that's a conundrum.

I don't understand it. Don't you just hate that ? ; )

Actually, when someone loves to hate, hating or what seems like hating someone or something, it can actually give them what they think is a good feeling. It makes them feel better to hate something. Like bullies for example. Bullies love to hate other people. They LIKE pulling other people down to them, to their level. It does seem like a conundrum, but it's possible to do.

Love to hate is an oxymoron. Really I think you mean enjoy to hate people. No one can love and hate at the same time. Its like trying to run 100m and sit at the same time. It is not possible.

I don't understand it myselfe. Some people feel so bad about themselves they put the focus on others so they don't have to deal with there own problems.

Projecting hate onto other people can bring a sense of comfort, no matter how ill-guided, to some people. A person who is insecure, not equipped to deal with change and not open to new things often fears those new things. People of a different race are a classic example. So the one afraid turns the fear inside out and it's projected as hate. As long as the person keeps his level of hate up he feels more secure, more powerful and more confident about himself. He degrades others to raise himself up. Of course, this doesn't actually happen. That person degrades himself more than anyone else in reality. But I think that's how someone can come to "love to hate." (Unless you're talking about the pet-peevish kind of "love to hate," and then I'm not so sure on that one.)

People get a kind of emotional surge when they get angry, judgmental, if they KNOW they're right about something and the other person ISN'T!!!, hate whatever political or ethnic group, or hate a particular person. Some people are messed up to the point where they get a lot of pleasure from it. There's also the intellectual aspect that they think they're better or smarter than "them". I personally think this mostly starts with lack of love & guidance during childhood.

I can think of several reasons: 1. It could create drama, therefore your drama queens will love to hate things in order to create drama. 2. It gives you an energy rush. When you hate it can make you angry which can get you into situations where your fight or flight (read endorphins here) kick in. So people get a "high" off of it. 3. They just weren't brought up right and think hating things is the way they are supposed to act. They saw their parent(s) hate everything from people, to dogs and cats, to taxes. So they think the world is full of hate and they should be haters too. I can think of a few more but it would be too much to post here.

This could be the case of a deviant behaviour which needs treatment.
