It's easier if you categorize it a little bit. I put this type of rhetoric/conversation under "commiseration". Humans tend to get social validation and dopamine hits when their views and opinions are validated. It's much easier to find common ground with people on things you dislike. I really suggest people examine their relationships with the friends and people they keep around them and try to inventory how many of those relationships are based on commiseration, talking shit about people or things. I then suggest you stop spending social energy with those people. IMO, it has been better for my mental health to be alone than to be with commiserators. It's even better when you're able to connect with people and share revelry.
