“Are There Any Non-Woke Operating Systems?”

My, quite the choosy beggar aren’t you? Would you also like water that’s clean enough to safely drink without having to support environmental protections or advances in wastewater treatment? Maybe you’d like breathable air without there being so many trees, too? Or how about a functional economy with more disposable income but nobody gets paid to work and are still stuck with bills and groceries that rapidly increase?
What these things NEED to exist and the knowledge to do it is inherently the thing you want to feel superior to. Even if you tear some inconvenient names out of the history books you need an education and to be able to follow logic to program things, but being educated and logical rather than proudly ignorant and obstinate tends to make you rethink that unjustifiable superiority complex you want to hang on to.
Being “woke” is a lot like learning how to function in the real world like an adult with responsibilities who understands that no man is an island and for anything to function people need to work for mutual progress rather than a child with a big stick and a lot of demands who thinks they can call their parents to do something awful to anyone who doesn’t listen.

While not inherently screening for specific content is a part of it, I think it has more to do with the creators of those operating systems.
Microsoft Windows for example is the most commonly used and Bill Gates is hated for being one of the billionaires that questions his own enormous tax breaks. As infuriating as Microsoft’s business practices are Bill Gates does believe in giving something back through philanthropy unlike Musk or Bezos who very much think of their own wealth as an infinite money glitch to spend on rockets like toy trains because they go woosh. And occasionally boom, much more occasionally than any tax-funded program would ever permit to keep being funded. A money glitch that has no relation whatsoever to those loathsome parasitic employees who waste their time on bathroom breaks and passing out from heat, thirst, overwork, and especially in Musk’s case he loves to randomly fire absolutely critical people because he genuinely doesn’t know how to business.
Creators of open-source operating systems, the most viable alternatives to Microsoft and Apple, by nature are supporters of net neutrality and free information exchange which is far too liberal for their liking. Arch-conservatives as you might already be aware are deeply invested in being able to control what information people have access to and the narrative tone in which it is presented.
Beyond these established bodies, all of which are unsuitable to somebody who is proud of their tiny bubble of self-interest, the skillset required to create functional OS that won’t melt your hardware or crash trying to run calculator because the operative word in computer logic is indeed “logic” comes from higher education and critical long-term thinking which has that infamous liberal bias and moreover complex programming cannot execute if there are conflicts in established logic. The arch-conservative tendency for double-think and to set a value to be interpreted in completely opposite ways in otherwise identical situations is an actual physical barrier for them to be competent at computer programming. A hilarious example is the trouble Elon is having making an explicitly alt-right leaning AI program that generates and frames information in a way pleasing to him. AI famously incorporates racist tendencies copied from analyzing what humans have done in terms of things like hiring patterns and security alerts as training data rather than being hard-coded to do so but Elon trying to directly and inorganically bake in a centre of racist, sexist, Nazi-lusting fuckery has caused his dollar-store ripoff program to shove “white genocide” propaganda into queries about dogs and the weather, self-conflict, reveal the exact addition to its code that made it start aggressively incorporating that non-sequitur, and even talk shit about the man personally.
How about instead of calling things "non-woke," we call them "asleep" or "sleeping?"
As in, "Are There Any Sleeping Operating Systems?”
Or "I'm gonna vote for this tax bill, it's really asleep."
Maybe get iff your computer, stop using tablets, cell phone, no more video games and live your life without technology. After all corporations can cater to whom they wish. Or should the cake makers have made cake for gay wedding? Choose carefully now
So, what would involve an explicitely right-wing OS: no networking to prevent incoming data and right-wing slogans printed at each power on of the PC.
Honestly, there’s no political way for a kernel to manage I/O with harddisks or peripherical devices.
EDIT: (06/05) replaced “a” with “no” in second line.
Confused?
