"The first time I ever really listened to Kyle Kulinski’s show was in the back of a cab last summer. The driver had his phone hooked up through the stereo and was pumping out an episode through the car speakers - loudly, as if looking to convert a captive audience.
“Do you like Kyle Kulinski?”
The driver, Ahmed, was a recent immigrant and apparently a die-hard fan of Secular Talk, the political talk show that Kulinski broadcasts on KZbin. I told him, yes, in fact. I do like Kulinski, had come across his show several years ago, and, all things considered, he seemed pretty good.
“He understands what we’re up against,” Ahmed said. “Like Bernie.”
But I was surprised to hear Kulinski’s name mentioned in the same breath as Bernie Sanders, particularly with such adoration. Because what I did remember about Kulinski’s show struck me as mostly capital-P “progressive” takes on the news - the left wing of the Netroots crowd more than the democratic socialism Sanders has popularized.
It’s an impression that wasn’t entirely incorrect.
“I have no time for philosophical, airy bullshit,” Kulinski tells me from his home in Westchester, New York. “I don’t want to hear about Lenin. I don’t want to hear about Marx. I just want a super plainspoken, straightforward agenda with a straightforward way of selling it.”
With over 800,000 subscribers and nearly 670 million total views on KZbin, selling a progressive agenda is clearly something Kulinski knows how to do - even Democracy Now, the long-standing flagship of progressive media, cannot match his reach on the platform. Chapo Trap House can certainly boast a wildly devoted fan base (and a not insignificant degree of media influence), but their audience is roughly half the size of Kulinski’s.
While Secular Talk might be more likely to be looped in with the progressive networks around Air America and Pacifica alums like Sam Seder than the more resolutely socialist world, Kulinski’s fiery rhetoric, razor-sharp class instincts, and knack for withering takedowns sets him apart from his peers. Judging by his rhetoric alone, he’s closer to a Eugene Debs than a Chris Hayes.
But unlike Hayes, Amy Goodman, or his friend Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks - who began airing Secular Talk on his web network seven years ago - the thirty-two-year-old Kulinski is virtually invisible in the mainstream media. Despite his enormous fan base, his show has never once been mentioned in the obligatory trend pieces on “the Millennial Left” pumped out by the prestige media. Nor has Kulinski’s name ever popped up at all in the New York Times, Vox, the New Yorker, New York Magazine, or the Washington Post, despite his leading role in cofounding Justice Democrats, the organization widely credited with sweeping Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of “the Squad” to power.
Just last week, his Wikipedia page was deleted. The reason? “There is very simply no [reliable source] coverage of this person,” according to one moderator. In new media, he’s king - the Sean Hannity of the Berniecrat left. In old media, he’s nobody.
I suspect there are a few reasons for that. There is nothing “cool” about Kulinski’s show. (As a friend put it, “‘Welcome to Secular Talk’ sounds like something you’d hear on Egyptian radio.”) His no-nonsense social-democratic politics won’t get him much cred with the Full Communism crowd. He records his show not in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, but in a studio he built himself in his modest Westchester home. His hair is too groomed and his taste in clothes too preppy to qualify as “Dirtbag Left.” Nor has he ever attended an n+1 release party. “Not only have I not attended one,” he says, “I have no idea what that means.”
And yet he’s astonishingly plugged-in for a young man in the suburbs. Wondering how Sanders ended up on the Joe Rogan Experience? Kulinski, a frequent guest on Rogan’s wildly popular show, introduced them. “You make the most sense to me,” Rogan told Kulinski on a recent episode. “You’re a normal person.”
Much like Sanders himself, Kulinski’s show has a massive audience that just doesn’t compute with our media’s understanding of “what the kids want” or even “what the left-wing kids want.”
It’s probably for the best - the very woke and very WASP-ish decorum haunting much of the media world is nowhere to be found in Secular Talk. “Corporate Democrats over-focus on identity as a trick to divert you from the issues that unite us all - class issues,” he said on a recent episode.

[@CrabCrow]

When I hear someone hate on teachers as an adult I just assume they were the worst little brat in school and they're still bitter they couldn't get their way.

[@andrewgawlik4961]

the only teachers that I hate on is an adult's are the ones that I had when I was in elementary school and those that behave like them. for me it's been about ableism and sanctioning of bullies especially those in the classroom. My high school teachers contrasted against the ones that I despised in elementary school and middle school. I grew up in the suburbs, so it's quite possible that this sort of conduct is limited outside of the cities. I would actually expect this type of conduct to exist in predominantly republican areas. The township I lived in has always been republican run in a deep blue state in a deep blue county. That being said one of my relatives is a retired Chicago public school special education teacher, and she had views aligning with the teachers whom I despised. Perhaps ableism hasn't been addressed in society yet. This is not a reflection upon teachers themselves, but society as a whole. Dealing with ablest people who promote neuronormativity. When I was in 8th grade, the bullies who physically assaulted me said they were most likely to be cops when they grew up.... seeing police brutality today... I can't help but wonder how much of their bigotry and horrendous behavior was sanctioned by the schools they went to. My qualms have nothing to do with what teachers teach... but about acceptable student behavior in the classroom, on the playground, in gym class, and in the school hallways. edit: so a lot of that behavioral issue also is the responsibility of the parents

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

@@andrewgawlik4961 Very blue area here and still had a lot of problems with bullies in school. It was less outright sanctioning though and more just incompetence. Some of this was also due to the poor staff ratios, 1 teacher for like 25 kids makes it pretty easy to get away with bullying when the teacher isn't looking. Even working in child care now myself it is difficult to handle (you can't force one kid to be friends with another) though we have maybe a 7:1 ratio for kids/staff, so it is easier to catch them being bullies.

[@andrewgawlik4961]

@@scottthewaterwarrior I can totally see that as being a huge part of the issue. Not enough staff.

[@andrewgawlik4961]

@@scottthewaterwarrior but still I have to say that teachers I had didn't care... but whenever I responded, I was always in trouble. They seemed to teach me how to be a punching bag. edit: I say that because the one teacher who I dealt with who came to my aid was once a principal and was demoted by the school district after being in my corner enough times

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

@@andrewgawlik4961 That was similar to experience as well: the other kids tease me, I tell teachers, teacher didn't see it so can't do anything. They continue to tease me, I hit them, now I'm in trouble... "Next time just ignore them!"

Teachers in the inner city deserve raises more than almost anyone. Their jobs are absolutely brutal. By the way a lot of them are not black.

[@Adam-cu9xo]

As someone who grew up in the inner city I’ve always found it odd how people automatically assume the teachers are black💀 Most the teachers are actually young white woman who are working in a rough school district for student loan assistance programs. my school was upper middle class homes (I grew up sort of off and on the middle and lower middle class) mixed with a low income trailer park zoned for our school that was sort of far away and most the teachers had issues with those students in particular. For the most part though the good teachers were highly respected by them after a while (because they cared) and would typically just have that 1 or 2 students who would give them issues.

[@dustinsindledecker154]

He thinks all the players he coached are stupid.

[@ecoRfan]

He would visit their homes to recruit them. Still goes off on blatant dog whistles. The nature of race relations is complex, notably when it’s often-conservative white people leading mostly people of color, regardless of the race or gender. Could be the owner of a restaurant with almost all Hispanic employees making similar type comments. Sort of doubt anyone who makes comments like this publicly would be able to do such a high profile job as major college football coach nowadays, but I’m guessing a lot of coaches at all levels believe that type stuff.

[@ecoRfan]

And worse with College Football, the players don’t even get paid… yet the coaches do. So yes, he absolutely made big money off of hundreds or thousands of “inner city” kids. And those corporations and zillionaires that Tuberville is ok with welfare for are indeed entitled, and the act of such welfare is indeed fiscal recklessness.

I like how he looks and talks like a South Park villain lmao

Don Jr is the poster child for the term "Fail Son."

[@ped200014]

Oh no not RaCiSm 😢

[@martharyan6379]

Thanks for the info. 🙂

[@OLDSKOOLNYC1]

The Senator from the state that always ranks near the BOTTOM of educational rankings, is talking about education. Let that sink in!

[@jamespeterson1630]

That's literally just Chuck from Better Call Saul

[@PeacefulPariah]

If not for inner-city teens winning him football games, nobody would even know who he is. He literally owes everything in his life to 18, 19, and 20 year-old Black men. Such a terrible person.

[@laurachristianson1688]

Even in the upscale suburbs the education funding is horrible….I lived in a new subdivision in Huntsville Al when my children were growing up. Their grade school years were spent in trailers…full of bad smells, etc. the education was so sub-par compared to mine (suburban Chicago schools) it was gobsmacking.

[@SeanJ2A]

When Hilary Clinton, used the term "super predator" was that also a dog whistle?

[@wilcee238]

But Hillary…RHEEEEEE!!!

[@jamescarr4504]

It absolutely was, yes. There were a LOT of politicians and pundits using that phrase back then, unfortunately.

[@trappedinamerica7740]

And the left doesn’t like Hillary either. It’s almost like the left is principled

[@giannileegalvan2669]

Hardcore methamfetaimne.

[@lumpotomy]

I live with a teacher and have never heard from her mouth reducing hours with students. Very much mentioned is fewer students, parent, public, and administrator support. This man is pathetic and alabama, auburn should be ashamed of themselves for putting him in this position.

[@gaston6800]

I don't know man, for 5th grade, I went to what was practically an all-black school in Wilmington, Delaware and the overwhelming majority of the teachers were white.

[@wayneroach6736]

51,891 dollars. Average Alabama school teachers salary.

[@emperorfrozenbillrulerofan8767]

Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in

[@treesurgeon5561]

The best things I've seen lately a gentleman pointing out the approved Florida curriculum books. The books were filtered by grades, ninth and twelfth grade are spelled incorrectly on an approved government document. Which I couldn't come up with a more perfect representation of why the rest of the world thinks America is a joke

[@lyannatargaryen3223]

Private and charter schools aren't required to have certified teachers.

[@thebrokenpuppet2714]

Fucking hell that’s direct

[@maxtornogood]

How the hell did Tommy Tuberville get elected as a Senator? Oh right it's Alabama...

[@tmontes1974]

He questions their credentials, when asked publicly what the three branches of government are, couldn’t answer. Now in our leadership. 7th grade social studies

[@flexartistry]

“Inner city” is such an OBVIOUS dog whistle an eye roll is almost reactionary

[@SwiftySanders]

The tomato being racist? Im shocked!!! 🍅

[@pokemonfan2630]

Also remember neither of them have worked a single day in their life, handed everything they have.

[@Lionfish5656]

If we lived in Poland or the Baltic states, he'd probably be able to say what he did, but replacing "inner city teachers" with the n-word. That is how racist they are there.

[@kalebaldwin5398]

He pretty much managed to swipe at four things (for lack of a better term) he doesn’t like: Teachers, unions, inner-cities, black people.
