Ong's argument hinges on what should be, and not what is.

Saying how things should be, but not checking to see if that's how they are, and insisting things are fine because they should be fine isn't going to advance our culture, or alleviate our constraints. It just leaves us on a slow decline of people in power taking more power and becoming more and more disconnected from the people they inevitably oppress.

Ong, you seem to have this notion that since you don't feel oppressed, there is no oppression where you live.
Doesn't that sound ... unlikely?
