in your hypothetical situation, then an individual would be free to create a competeting company that doesn't actually hold any of those values.

and you are now forced to agree to them by social pressure.

what do you do?

what stops another corporation from forming that doesn't?

Societal pressure that keeps these corporations from forming.

boycots, protests, direct action like companies refusing to do business deals with them ect.

so laws dont exist in your hypothetical?

yes, laws against boycots protests and refusing service dont' exist in my hypothetical

So this situation happens. What do you do?

You are now, through no use of the government, forced to agree with dragonkin vocally

simply with social pressure.

if we translate this in to real life, then these companies form that do not hold those values.

And then they get shut down
