I think the concern is more that those neo-Nazis who were basically think, "Oh, the way I see the world is legitimate. I can be this way in public now and treat people horrifically without consequence". Moreover, the concern is that people who aren't Aryan Nation but are privately racist may think that they were wrong to have doubts and join up.

Personally, I think the former is more likely to materialize than the latter. I also think that sunlight is the best disinfectant for those types, and I'd rather they announce themselves so I know who to avoid.
