What if the money went to a charity or organization you disagreed with, ex: neo-nazis, etc?

That's one of the problems with the concept of "anticharity" conveyed in the essay that costco shared.

Using positive/negative punishment (a thing being taken from you or a bad thing happening to you) can cause more harm than good especially if the harm caused exceeds the benefits obtained from achieving the goal.

... then the system behind this will be organizing funding for neo-nazis.
