There's literally a scene in the first film where Austin tells Dr Evil that while he understands that their actions in the 70s didn't age well the point was rebelling against the system and standing up to authoritarian powers. That the actions may have differed but the intent would be the same.
"woke austin powers" is a thing that keeps surprising people and I don't know why; the man was frozen in 1967 as the epitome of the Swinging Sixties movement and then woke up in the late '90s without having been corrupted by living through the Thatcher era of COURSE he's woke as fuck
