Those two words aren't even remotely incompatible. If anything, they're connected. Misanthropy, strictly speaking, usually stems from distrust, disappointment or disdain toward humankind as a collective. It isn't necessarily rooted in hatred per se, but in disillusionment; a reaction to the cruelty, stupidity and hypocrisy of society. Compassion is just an emotional and moral response to suffering, and it isn't limited to humanity but to all life. In fact, it's easy to become misanthropic precisely when you view humanity without a biased lens.
