I'm also not sure whether outlawing the groups doesn't fuel the persecution fantasies that seem to drive a lot of this kind of behavior and the conspiratorial mindset that underlies them.

This is absolutely, scarily true. Persecution fantasies and Armageddon fantasies combine in these folks' brains - "we're driven underground by the mud races and race traitors (to grab a couple of the lovely phrases that get tossed around by Nazis/Aryan Nation/Posse Commitatus types), but then we'll come out of hiding, Just Like The Kids in "Red Dawn" and we'll win The Big War, and there will be a big party after we kill everyone we don't like, (but there won't be blood and guts everywhere and the bodies will magically disappear, just like on TV or in this or that game), and all the girls will date us!"

That toxic and unholy mix of 12-year-old boy, hate-filled loser, survivalist, movie acolyte, fearful xenophobe ... yeah. Persecution fantasy doesn't begin to cover it, but it sure is an excellent shorthand.
