The problem with things like "seeking parity" is that your actions play only a small part in determining the outcome of the conflict, whereas your actions play a much larger part in determining consequences to your post-conflict status.
Not if others also side with the underdog, and punish those who side with the overdog - perhaps by viewing them as "craven" or "toadying" and treating them accordingly. People seem to have an odd respect for supervillains, but do we respect the henchmen?
