That the word can be misused seems beside the point, no? A liar can call themselves "anti-fascist" just as easily as they can call themselves "antifa". That doesn't change the meaning of the word though, it just makes them a liar.
It's not beside the point. It's literally the point the comment above was making. Yes, it makes them a liar. That's what this chain has been saying. Them being a liar doesn't change the fact they're calling themselves that. Again, Nazis called themselves socialist. Going after them doesn't mean you're against socialism.
