Consent and dissent are socially constructed.

So much of human interest/relevance lives in the intersubjective reality (ISR) domain (which is only loosely coupled to any objective reality (OR) one might postulate).   perhaps ISR is a highly compressed abstraction of OR but it is the one most humans operate in most of the time?

   The weak just don't get to exercise much consent and dissent.

Weak, or weakly situated?  Or is blunted/limited/constrained agency what "weakness" is?

Sometimes agents lean to cooperate in some setting, and that's the practical 
point.
multi-scale cognition at the "next" level "up" from the individual organism?
  Part of building cooperation is persuasion, and so ethics can enter there.  
But ethics needn't enter.
The structure of thing is the ability to sense, evaluate, and hit back (or have 
another agent do it on the agent's behalf).

surprisal minimization ala  Friston?
