Maybe I'm sensitive but "peanut gallery" felt derogatory. A quick google gave me "the top gallery in a theatre where the cheaper seats are located." which I feel is quite fitting...

As we sit here and watch how this dystopia future plays of around us and how corporations want to dodge responsibility.

It is derogatory. It generally means people who are inconsequential and ill informed, but they are going to loudly give you their opinion anyway as if you should care when you probably don't ("you" being someone whose opinion actually matters).

I can't figure out how to link to it, but this definition was my top search result:

a group of people who criticize someone, often by focusing on insignificant details
