Someone told me today that acts of terror achieve nothing. I had to remind him that the whole reason we were having this conversation was because of a country that was built on acts of terror.

Name a positive long term systemic change that happened as a result of this
Whenever positive systemic change happened in history, the events were rebranded as “fighting for freedom”. Literally all positive systemic change happened this way throughout the history. French peasents beheaded soldiers, that’s how they got democracy. If they had failed, the events would have been known as a “terrorist attack”. But the important thing is, there has to be a social movement behind the actions. Individual attacks may spark the initial flame, but if there is no movement behind it the flame won’t last for long. That’s the thing you are right about. No matter how many times this happens, it will not result in any change unless there is also a social movement behind it.
