Henry,
I seem to recall that there were two cases recently in the US (one in
Alabama) where the Supreme Court ordered that the Ten Commandments be
removed from courthouses because it infringed the secular US
constitution.

Or do you think there is only a teeny-weeny difference between the US
Supreme Court and the Council of Guardians in Iran?

Does an underdogist perspective necessarily imply the 'truth' that all
forms of _politeia_, including especially a liberal bourgeois-democratic
constitution, are a sham and a swindle, i.e. merely a facade for a
ruling elite behind the scenes?

Isn't underdogism just another name for Nietzschean resentment of those
who feel victimized by life, who feel hard done by in life, who wallow
in born-loser pessimism? Isn't it a secular morphosis of Christianity?
