      so should I stop giving £20 to homeless people on the street here and there because a fair portion of them run immediately into the off-license for alcohol? by your logic I’m essentially funding their drinking habit not just giving a guy on the street money.

      have you ever heard of the Orebro party before this or even know any of their policies? just jumping on the tribal bandwagon even though let’s face it a private donation to a local Swedish party barely actually affects any of us on here. A VPN is basically an internet bouncer do you ask the security staff at live shows their political ideology? nope it would be pretty asinine.

      i was under the assumption the Fediverse was supposed to be better than Reddit whole lot of the same all or nothing tribal takes.

      Pay money to <random-corp> - > <random-worker> gets part of that money, through their paycheck - > <random-worker> funds fascists - > fascists are being funded with “your” money

      It came out that he was using his personal money from his pay, and not directly off the expense sheet of the company. To that end, when does it stop being “your” money. If you were replace that with “VP”, “Manager”, or even “random tech” is it still your money at that point?

        The amount between worker and CEO is orders of magnitude different. And it doesn’t matter that it’s his private money. It comes (partially) from me. Therefore if I use the service I feel partially responsible. A couple percent of every euro I’ve ever given them, went to funding that party. So I will use a different company, where that doesn’t happen.

        Your point is really valid however as there is no clear lines, so people will have to draw their own.
