I've come to see self-loathing and outward-facing resentment as just two strategies for shielding oneself from empowerment in a context where it is safer to be weak than to be strong.

If resentment & self-loathing are strategies, and they succeed, they are signs of resilience and perseverance so they can be argued do be a kind of strength which goes against the ethics of strength. Your thought is internally contradictory bc. it has single dimension/value.
