In many European countries, Nationalist organizations have cooperated with law enforcement to either protect law abiding members by agreeing to identify bad actors or to get government funding. This came out prominently in the NSU trials in Germany. What this establishes is even hardcore, true believers will do this if they think it’s good for the cause. We cannot solve this question, even if we know people’s intent. You name the major organization active today, it’s hard to 100% rule out they don’t do this.

The only thing to be done is to:

1. Decide if you believe participating in groups is effective.
