the master’s tools themselves can be dismantled (i.e. technology) and the master can be discredited, ridiculed, evaded, and/or killed.
revolutions, famines, droughts, floods, hurricanes, wars, are more or less in the same ballpark category of events.
they are sporadic traumatic blips in what we experience as disaster-as-usual (business as usual for those in the business, and business is booming), but these events rarely define an abrupt discontinuity that define or mark the beginning of a completely new era.

i agree that terror and propaganda by the deed are completely ineffective as means to usher an event defined as insurrection, or revolution. plus these events my not bring about the social change or outcomes desired by the insurgents or by the counterinsurgents.
