I fully support the ideology behind anti-fascism.
Unfortunately, a not inconsiderable percentage of Antifa members are nothing more than middle-class slacktivist twats who care little about the ideology of Antifa and take more interest in causing a bit of a nuisance at protests and feeling like Mr/Mrs Big Balls.
As soon as you let cunts represent your organisation, you begin to lose all credibility. It happened with Anonymous (although those gay Guy Fawkes masks didn't really help matters), it happened with Black Lives Matter and now it's happening with Antifa.
I guarantee a lot of these twats were also falling over themselves during the Kony2012 nonsense a few years back.

yes
It's a massive down side of running things anonymously/ openly (anyone can join in.) You'll get some natural assholes, and you'll get people actively trying to undermine the group.
I reckon, where a group is righteous, judge the individual members by their own actions. Admittedly it's harder when they're all wearing masks...
This particular subset though, just put some of their time in, ran a bit of deception, and only gave the guy a talking to. They might be ineffective, but cunts is little harsh.

I regard the majority of folk as cuntish to some degree or another, particularly those on either extreme of a political divide.
So it's maybe not as harsh as it first seems.
