Terrorists are always going to attack whatever has the most convenient combination of lax security and number of people for them. They don’t go for cultural venues because they loath theater, they go for them because there’s less things that go wrong for them.
The best governments can do is to have more security in places with more people - like sports events.
Yeah, the average terrorist is extremely rational, and would never do attacks if their needs were met. Simple needs like killing everyone who does not worship their god exactly the same way they do.
Consume less tiktok. Can’t you see that it rots your brain?
Someone’s social status is orthogonal to the pressures that drive people to be hopeless about society. In fact, poor people tend to have better community, which directly helps people not turn to terrible decisions.
It should be no surprise what so ever. It takes both a lack of support and a lack of availability. It’s only natural that people who have the least emotional reason to stay sane are the ones more likely to snap.

Well, they could actually govern for the people and leave no sane person any reason to do bad things…
… but then since when has government been in the business of improving the commoner’s life?

Ah yes, I see a moron who does not know how crimes of despair work.
Yep, you’re too far gone. I’m sorry for you.
Honestly you’re both twats.
Yeah, that’s true.

More often than not, terrorists (as opposed to insurgents) come from the middle class or above. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/24/opinions/sri-lanka-terrorists-educated-middle-class-bergen/index.html covers some of those cases and explains the dynamics behind it.
