I would have read it the opposite way; that the first group is clueless (since they are unaware of the struggle) and the second group is losers (since they are losing out in this scenario in many ways) but otherwise appreciate this clarification.
I think in context Michael is referring to “Clueless” and “Loser” as terms of art in Venkat’s “The Gervais Principle” series, not to the normal English meaning of the words.
Perhaps confusingly I also think you have the terms backwards, having read The Gervais Principle (clueless are trying to follow the official rules, losers don’t think the rules have meaning so they just manage their local political situation) - which suggests that the title is pretty unclear on its own.

Ah, thanks
