What has changed - and changed dramatically - is the impact of social media and the super organizing tool that it provides to reach the disaffected. Look at how skillfully ISIS has employed the web.
What the alt right is about (not that you don't already know this well, I'm sure) is making the transition from the dark recesses of the internet to boots on the ground.
How is this any different than Hell's Angels showing up when groups threaten to protest soldiers' funerals? I'm no fan of Antifa, but the one situation they are 100% justified is making sure Nazis don't show up at a funeral that someone of their own killed.
Protection detail?
Those clowns?
Come on now.
If there was suspicion or threats of violence, let the police know and have them come to the funeral. Nazi's, just like the leftist kooks are itching for attention and in some cases violent confrontation. I don't know what involvement this poor girl had with everything going on, but it is a sad way to lose her life.
If the Nazi's or Black Bloc want to speak, or march, let them do so within the letter of the law. Most only get a handful of losers show up and they pass out a few pamphlets.
But when the other side decides to come with weapons and start trouble with each other, it elevates them to levels they could never achieve on their message alone.
... There is no evidence that they are growing in number.
Wrong again.
"The overall number of U.S. hate groups jumped about 17 percent in 2016 from 784 in 2014, according to SPLC research."
"The SPLC breaks down the groups by category, noting that there were 99 neo-Nazi groups, 130 outposts of the Ku Klux Klan, 43 neo-Confederate groups, 78 racist skinhead groups and 100 white nationalist groups."

In the first place SPLC is well known to be a sick joke and not a valid source, so try again.
In the second place, the conversation was about Nazi and KKK and then you pull out a number from a self-serving source for "hate groups" in general, not specifically NN/KKK.
