What Chris Rock’s “Selective Outrage” Says About Today’s Rage Culture

Chris Rock is speaking out with a new comedy special and he’s taking on a clear target: Selective Outrage. So what exactly does he mean by that, and does he have a point that today’s brand of outrage is causing a lot of our problems? To Rock, selective outrage isn’t just what you get mad about, but also what you decide not to be mad about, because it doesn’t benefit you. And a selectively outraged mindset may be behind larger problems in our society like hypocrisy, cognitive dissonance, and compassion fatigue.
