From the about page https://www.unwoke.hr/about "The modern workplace has become a hotpot for unchallenged radical thinking and left wing ideology. Our mission is to advance society based on a culture of enlightenment, beauty, truth and freedom through free market initiatives. First up – unwoking work." So ... it is for activists then?

But not "woke" activists, presumably.

There are people in my current workplace demanding that we stop using the term Healthcheck as they perceive it as an affront to disabled people. There is clearly more nuance and ambivalence about the woke crowd than you are admitting.

As dumb as that is, that's an extremely un-dramatic thing to point to as some kind of counterexample to the parent's point, which seems to stand in spite of the people at your workplace.

BLM and other activists already flagged the post. Wnder how long will it survive to be on the visible list. One of the best ideas I have seen here on HN lately. Good job who came up with it. I wish you success, but don't get your hopes up in today's political climate.

>BLM and other activists already flagged the post

Why must one identify with one of these groups to flag this post? It sounds like you're trying to group your enemies into camps.

This is great, a repo of companies that are hiring folks that don't give a shit about what's going on around them! Saying you are "unwoke" is simply turning a blind eye to the treatment of people around you. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

The difference between caring and being woke is shameless self promotion and groupthink denigration of those who do not self promote. There simply are no humble "woke" people, all "woke" are bullies.

Please do not take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. This level of discussion is below the minimum bar here, even when arguing about a topic like this.

Huh. “unwoke" — rejects a particular viewpoint associated with the left. “Free-thinking and freedom loving” — while most people probably self-identity that way, currently these are actively used mostly by the right as distinguishing descriptions. “Not...further a radical agenda” — again, negative on a description used mostly for the left (“reactionary” would be for the right) Sounds like, despite claiming to be about…

They literally define themselves as "The job board for conservatives, libertarians and free thinkers." It's just a job board for conservative companies to hire conservative workers; if they're trying to hide it, they're doing a pretty half-assed job.

Unwoke candidate: "I just want to follow orders"

Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted into the community.

I think at either extreme its probably true. I don't spend my time signaling on linked in, but I do like to have a "diverse" team. Things just feel more even when you aren't surrounded by the same types, and there is space in that for white people with right wing views

So you're saying: The only thing necessary for the triumph of good men is for "this woke crap" to do nothing. Now that I see that, I'm pretty sure I disagree.

People simply prefer to work for companies that are not evil. That's not "doing nothing", that's voting with their feet.

Didn't google remove "do no evil" after they started investing in killer robots?

I think they removed that before going on their woke crusade, because they figured it is actually too vague. Different people consider different things evil.

But for individuals, I think it is still an OK choice to make to not work for companies they personally consider evil.

Is it ok for black people to use this service? Whole thing has a whites only vibe

Why on earth should it not be OK for black people to use the service? And what is so "white" about it? Because black people are supposed to be activists and believe in identity politics? I follow plenty of black people on Twitter who don't belong to that crowd. Have you ever wondered if is ok black people to use Hacker News? After all, it was created by white people? (I don't even know the skin color of the creators…

I’ve wondered if it’s ok for black people to use HN, I’ve also wondered if it’s even ok for black people to be in tech. The term “woke” was coined by black people for the purpose of empowerment and self-liberation, co-opted by white liberals to feel like they’re doing something, and then I see this site, which is supposed to be the antithesis of “woke” corporate culture.

Black people have no choice to interpret this as “we want to keep ignoring a soft genocide”.

No black person would want to be “unwoke” because to us that means enslavement, that’s how I know OP is nonblack.
