If they have such high public support why doesn't the public vote accordingly?
only 30% thought disruptive tactics were effective for issues with high awareness but low support
I just went to look for the catcalling article you mentioned (it's this one) and she is obviously not "complaining" about not getting catcalled. Instead, she's talking about how her ageing affects her sense of self-worth. Her getting catcalled less often is only the impetus of this reflection, not the actual source of her negative feelings.
This is completely insane and no economist agrees with your conspiracy theory.
Why would job cuts be temporary if demand stays low?
"Never thought I'd fight side by side with a Russian"
"What about side by side with a homophobe?"
As if this is what was needed to prove it. Trump once answered a question about the failings of western liberalism by talking about how liberal cities on the west coast were doing badly.

But it has seen an impact, it resulted in the JCPOA
You asked for an example of a country changing its attitude, that is what happened in Iran to negotiate the nuclear deal. Now you are moving the goal posts and claiming that it wasn't sufficiently successful in the long run. That may well be, but it has nothing to do with the presence or absence of sanctions.
I also want to point out that sanctions often work far more subtly than what you imagine. If six months from now, Ukraine and Russia engage in successful peace talks, sanctions will certainly have played a role in shifting Russia's position closer to that of Ukraine, but on the surface it will be impossible to tell by how much.
Edit my comment to add the Iran example
The goal is to make the cost of waging war increasingly painful to pay. There is no other way to effectively do this than to target the entire country.
Off the top my head, the sanctions on Iran were pretty effective to get them to negotiate the nuclear deal. Until Trump tore that one up, that is.
There is no other way
Lustigerweise hat gerade Kuba selber in den letzten 3 Jahren 5% der Bevölkerung durch Auswanderung verloren.
When Austria sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing crime. They're terrorists. They're dictators. And some, I assume, are good people.
How much more does it cost to the alternatives?
