I agree with you that in some cases this is not even a choice to you. You will pay severely for this choice and you may not be willing to pay such a big price for acting ethically.
Thats why in a part of my former comment i've addressed other options, like moving to other products that actually create something good..
But anyway the important part is to remain conscious about this, even if you cant get out of the situation. Because the uneasy feeling might help you to recognize a good oportunity to change your situation.
The Nazism soldiers example shows cinism, like they knew what they were doing, they choose individually to do it, and when confronted they just blamed hierarchy. Somehow in the process they have lost their 'soul'.
Its very specific, and its not very much relatable to every case, but more like a cautionary tale, that we need to be aware of this, and keep or conciousness and our individual will as part of the whole.
What each one of us do matters in the whole, and we should be awake in every order we are executing when we are in a system where we need to follow orders.
