Nice to see some of the topics that we discussed before making it into your essay. You wrote it out better than I could have.

However, when I bring these examples up, I see them as success stories worth emulating.

My point is that 1) these people actually rose up, which cannot be said for modern Whites and the reason that they rose up is 2) because of a religious movement that necessarily was imbued with mystical practice or led by shamans of a kind.

All peasant/slave revolts are religious in nature is my point and so if there is to be any rebellion at all, it needs to use the technology of inspiring religious feeling in people to get them to rise up.

You did not list them, but there are also more successful examples of the same phenomenon.

Tecumsah had more luck and used his shaman pedigree to unite the Indian tribes into a rare confederacy that made a political miscalculation in relying so heavily on Canadian British.

The Servile wars were also led by psychopomps.

And the Protestant rebellions were actually successful in the end, using mystical the mass-induction techniques of dancing, simulated drowning, cold exposure and so on. There are other semi-successful examples that come to mind as well like the Yellow Turbans from China that got much further than the Boxers.

Most of these examples pit literal stone-age cultures against a mature European empire that was at the height of its Assabiyah. The reason why they had access to these mystical techniques was because of their estrangement from modern civilization, which was both a plus and eventually an insurmountable obstacle. But, as in the case of the Protestants, where tech wasn't as much an issue, they fared much better.

Therefore, if a religious rebellion was ignited, the tech barrier or the reluctance to use modern weaponry will not be as much of a factor. Furthermore, it will be fought by rebels who are not limited by inferior IQ and an inability to work together in large organized structures. White people are far more socialized and able to work beyond clan and tribe structures, for better or for worse. Furthermore, their opponents will largely be janissaries in the employ of the occupation government. History is filled with examples of native rebellions overthrowing foreign powers because of home field advantage. The Arab revolts against the Western powers, for example.

So, actually, the situation is not as bleak as it was for the Indians who were outnumbered, outgunned, and already in concentration camps.

It will get bleaker as time goes on, true.

But the problem has always been trying to figure out how to actually ignite the initial rebellion. Literally millions of words and pages of ink spilled trying to figure out how to get ppl to rise up. And none of these nativist thinkers could provide the correct answer. Instead, they thought like Marxists and assumed that eventually, historical conditions would manifest and a rebellion would manifest spontaneously as a result of bad government policies.

The reason why I wrote out this thesis in my book was to attempt to explain that religious feeling and mystical technology is the match that will light up the powder keg. The underlying conditions are already there. The whole thing is primed to blow.

Whether it will be successful or not is another matter.

But I believe that the "ghost dance" is the key to getting people to rise up.
