The "woke" movement appears to put the emphasis on social justice, equality, and oppression, however, this is only masking dangerous values, and in its essence, it contradicts the spirit of the Noahide laws and even the simple intellect.
The "woke" movement often centers around identity politics, focusing on specific groups based on the idea that the weak are always right. While the Noahide laws address universal laws and all humanity , they do not specifically target particular groups, as every human being was created in the image of G-d.
The methods employed by the woke movement, such as "cancel culture" violence and public shaming, conflict with the Noahide principles of avoiding evil speech and causing distress and harm to others.
Most importantly, the Noahide laws are grounded in belief in one G-d and its instructions given on Mount Sinai to all humanity with no exception, while the woke movement is completely secular and the belief in G-d is absent. Furthermore, they ignore the will of G-d and see it as unbinding.
The Noahide laws do emphasize general moral conduct and the prohibition of sexual immorality, while the "woke movement encourages sexual immorality, it also does not condemn terrorism organizations, and furthermore, they praise violent acts that cause immense suffering in an attempt to present them as justified.
The Noahide prohibition against murder and theft forbids violence. The emphasis is on individual behavior rather than collective guilt, as the woke pretend to show. It's crucial to recognize that the woke movement represents the opposite of what Noahide Law represents. A just society has to follow the will of the creator to make itself healthier by observing the 7 Noahide laws
