Are you sure that referring to an event from 8 years ago as an example of a much more common phenomenon is in good faith? Your second example doesn't specify exactly how large the gathering was, but from the context of the article it sounds like it was maybe a dozen people. What threshold are you using for "much more common"?
I don't think you're being very charitable. I'm not playing dumb, I just don't think you've made your case, and "trust me, it's happening" is not much of an argument.

You should watch the video before posting a link. Proud Boys don't call themselves neo nazis. Other parts of the video touch on stats about violence from who knows what source - left or right - and then touches on people "storming the capital" and "insurrection". So, nothing real or concerete and in particular nothing to do with neo nazis.
You're very quick to accuse others of not being in good faith.
