It only gives the impression of provoking a good result in practical term it doesn't.
To take the fish eric example. Before 11/9 certainly the people in new york weren't that united, but can you say that if it wasn't for that more than 2000 people would have been killed? That's highly improbable. So unless you think there's a worse crime than murder as a matter of fact there is no real gain.
There is also to take in acount the time of effect. Such events really have the power to cause a shock, but how long such effect can last? I think it's very optimistic to think it would last more than 5 years. Humans are very forgetful beings.
In the case of Higashi no Eden, as much as they are dissatisfied with their current society, they completely fail to notice how the murder rate in Japan is one of the lowest worlwide. So they want to fix that by causing a mass murder themselves. Clearly their priority scale is completely fucked up. There's only a word to describe what drives number X and I actions: Totally blind selfrighteusness. They judge so harshly the Japan they live in, they don't get how much greater is the corruption in their own hearts for wanting to destroy that many human lives for an outcome that is bound to be very short lived.
