Forcing them into hiding isn't what radicalizes them. We dealt with hidden KKK groups in a pretty stable manner for 70+ years. Maybe it made the worst of them even more extreme in their views due to the persecution. But it kept their numbers limited and their opinions from becoming mainstream.
It's giving them an easily accessible echo chamber that radicalizes them and allows them to recruit. The internet has changed everything.
