I can see how it ends now. 

Eventually RSBN will be too mainstream after channels start appearing that call for actual violence.  People will call accusations of offshore funding leftist lies...

This is how it ends, or just how it progresses?  It's a race to the bottom.

Actual violence, rather than just words would be more the bottom, but it can go even further than that.  History has shown us what the actual bottom is, and we're not there yet.

Thanks to social media, the fringe now have a voice.  They'd never get on Walter Cronkite 50 years ago.

The reasonable get buried, they just don't get the ratings or web views anymore.  Reasonable is boring.

This is probably a good thread to post this.  It would probably help to know what the battlefield looks like.
