What a remarkably woke thing to say.

 
Not really. Woke would be to ensure that everyone has the same computer
today, regardless of whether they have the means to buy something better
or not. In other words, both the rich and the poor would be running
something like today's equivalent of a Commodore 64 with no option to
increase RAM or add accessories.

So a Commodore 64 is “woke”, but, say, an Apple Iphone is not?

"Woke" is just another word appropriated as a bogeyman for magahats.

Yielding
Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water,
Yet nothing can better overcome the hard and strong,
For they can neither control nor do away with it.
The soft overcomes the hard,
The yielding overcomes the strong;
Every person knows this,
But no one can practice it.
Who attends to the people would control the land and grain;
Who attends to the state would control the whole world;
Truth is easily hidden by rhetoric.
