You are responsible for the choices you make, not the conditions that are imposed upon you.
Yes, but what are you supposed to do when the conditions imposed upon you are unjust/immoral/unethical? Just give in or slink away in defeat? Nobody is supposed to have the courage of their convictions or fight for what they believe in just because they happen to be the imposee (employee) instead of the imposer(employer)? Maybe I misunderstood your post, but I really hope that's not what you are suggesting.
There are plenty of things a person can do. Getting involved politicially is the most obvious choice. Trying to change a bad law.
If you don't want to do that, break the law and accept the consequences. If you are right, someday you will be looked upon as a martyr. If you are wrong, you will be forgotten.
