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.
