I agree that the initial primary goal of terrorism is fear. There&#x27;s also anger, because fear and anger are connected. But I&#x27;m not so sure that nonviolent resistance is all about fostering guilt&#x2F;shame&#x2F;empathy. I think that guilt etc and anger are also connected. And so both can lead to overreaction. And once you&#x27;ve goaded an opponent into overreacting, they will be hurting innocents. And that will foster sympathy, and build general support for your cause.
