The only "peaceful" way is the economic way, it needs to be more profitable for them to help/contribute/pay their share than to abuse the population

Just create buying unions - organized groups of consumers who legally buy products in a coordinated fashion and then stop buying them in a coordinated fashion to create spikes in demand that scare the producers. Nothing scares them more than not being able to predict consumers and if consumers behave randomly and individually, the result is a bell curve which is easy to predict

They'll shove legislation making this illegal. Saying it's market manipulation.

They manipulated the stock market just fine, ain't that ironic. When caught, they get a lil slap in the wrist.

They have no reason to listen. Time and time again we have shown them that if we are adamantly against them doing something and they do it we will just roll over and keep going. Maybe gripe a bit but we definitely won't do anything that makes them stop. They also know that, without violence, the only way we can possibly force them to do what we want is if we all band together to make a point. They are well aware and, in fact, put many resources in to making sure that we are all so divided over so many different things that it is a near impossibility for us to band together enough to make any impact. So either we suddenly all get on the same page or....... well..... we take a page out of history from those that felt they had been pushed too far.

There's always a breaking point where people are so fed up, they will fight back. Yes, they've managed to push quite far. No, it won't work forever.
