Are people now just lazily labelling anyone protesting against hard right politics as 'antifa' or are they distinguishing them from traditional anarchists and protesters?
I can tell you, as a political activist, no, on the right most of us don't label everyone protesting as "antifa." Antifa is just that: Antifa. They're pretty easy to distinguish as they wear all black and belong to organized chapters (e.g. Boston Antifa) as a part of an overall larger movement that extends to western Europe. Otherwise, we do not call everyone Antifa, they made it clear to everyone that they are their own entity.
