Things Americans will never do. Civility over everything!
Remember, the anti-war protests over Iraq accomplished nothing. This is because the ruling class is only afraid of two things from protests: 1. a general strike. 2. the real possibility of violence. Any protest that hopes to stop a war must contain at least one of the two.

I would think targeted strikes and actions can serve outsized purpose Shutting down the airports and the ports, occupying golf and country clubs, jamming suburban traffic, etc

this is precisely how the hong kong protesters forced china's hand between that and successfully voting for the opposition even as china tried rigging the vote in their favor

yeah to the point they'll commonly initiate violence against it it doesn't strictly have to be a strike but it has to be similarly disruptive to their desired social order of course sometimes even that's not enough (flint is a major example of this)

Sorry but the only threat the ruling class responds to is financial, a threat to their capital. Violence is a problem they can pay to get solved or diverted.
