I don't even want to work, but unfortunately food and shelter cost money.
It's all a trade-off. Don't be a founder, but then you have to put up with crazy company politics, feeling of meaninglessness, having a boss, and so on.
Personally I don't think anybody is entitled to a job, though. Hence my "I don't even want to work" statement. People have to do something to survive, that is just reality.

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.

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.
My son works on a job where he says he almost-daily hears people talking negatively about Clinton and Obama (years later!) and praising whatever Trump has recently done, decrying "PC culture" and generally talking like stereotypes. He'd go to HR to ask for relief, but the HR person like making borderline racist jokes about Obama, so no help there.
It seems to me that company would love this site.
To balance things out, this company has treated him very well during the pandemic, taking the mask-wearing and distancing directives seriously and ensuring everybody kept their jobs. It's just a few very-vocal employees politicizing everything, not the company as a whole.
Maybe your son would like a job board for jobs from woke companies instead.
This isn't for people who just aren't activists, it's for people who hate activists. I.e. it's just the politically opposite exclusiveness.
I don't want to work in a job were activists can cancel me any time because I am a white heterosexual male.
For example since they fired James Damore, I would never consider a job with Google.
I don't like the activists, but I would tolerate them, if it weren't there nature to meddle and try to make other people bow to their will.
I wasn't aware all the other job boards were for woke people
That's not implied by the existence of a special interest job board.
Many companies engage in woke politics and activism. How would you go about filtering them out on all the other job boards?
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 of "Unwoke.hr" - why do you assume they have to be white?).
