Rock Links 'Wokeness' to Salem Witch Trials in 'Misty Green' Promo
Chris Rock argues that institutionalized 'wokeness' has created a less forgiving culture, comparing the post-2020 era to the Salem witch trials. While promoting his new film 'Misty Green,' he asserts that advocacy for marginalized groups is valid but becomes problematic when it becomes an unyielding institution. Rock emphasizes that true friendship requires accountability and forgiveness, not abandonment, and notes that the current cultural climate resembles the 'Old Testament' due to its lack of mercy. He acknowledges the positive impact of the movement in amplifying voices but criticizes the shift toward performative outrage and institutional overhead.
