And in English, when we say "don't be a loser", it is okay that the listener is or is not a loser.

I don't post for the sake of posting.
I am a native speaker of English and I have to agree with Sashimister's translation. The fact that からの脱却 is used implies that somebody is already a loser. But the way you said it could be taken as how people should avoid becoming a loser in the first place.
