Who defines what a loser is? You? And how do you know that they appreciate their lot? Ever read Nils M. Holm's "Bridging the Gap"? To quote Gómez Dávila:
If one does not believe in God, the only honest alternative is vulgar utilitarianism. The rest is rhetoric.
I was talking about winners and losers in obvious economic terms. Losers would be defined by society as those who aren't close to being celebrities, and who are marginalized from the middle class, as opposed to being put on a pedestal by that class. So celebrities and the disenfranchised would share their estrangement from the middle class.
Oh, and that Davila quotation is pretty dumb. Theistic religion's vulgar compared to scientific naturalism.
