"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. “That Raytheon decided they don’t hate gays or trans people - frankly, I don’t really give a shit what their take on that is..."

Yes it would. It would be much better if he learned to feel compassion, empathy and understanding for others and was redeemed as a functional human being. Not as likely though. Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted recently. Apparently the cops knew her. hmmm.

[@tylerpeters2624]

I mean, this just shows a major flaw in Christian ideology. They are trying to adapt with the times, but adapting contradicts their rule book and shows they are okay disobeying their gods direct orders. It’s becoming painfully obvious it’s a load of shit, and they all behave as though they know it’s a load of shit now and totally disregard their gods wishes. People like this guy who simply follow the Bible’s more extreme views, are obviously seen as total psychos. But that’s a Christian choosing follow their gods law. It’s so whacky. Religion, once you are outside of it, becomes completely fucking insane. I was raised in a southern baptist home. It’s really wild now being out of it for quite some time, just how brainwashed we all were

[@welshgit]

They've been doing that for years. Even the New Testiment contradicts much of the Old Testiment. It's almost as if the Bible was written by people based on their views, agendas, and social norms at the time!

[@MutualistSoc]

Look into Ecuador. If you get a visa and stay for 2 years without leaving for more than a total of 90 days then you get dual citizenship, and access to travel through South America without needing a passport. They have a very open border policy.

[@Aeroldoth3]

I'd love to try it with some gay dudes from a gym. Preferably several times. They could "pound" me into the ground.

[@Scanner9631]

I've wished for a long time that I were rich enough to strategically place gay gyms, gay bars and even gay churches right by prominent anti gay bigots with the gays knowing their job was to be better Christians than their persecutors. Imagine Westboro baptists protesting them and as the gay body builders go by all they say to the various protestors is "bless you brother" and "bless you sister" and if any should fall or drop their sign help them up with obvious concern for their well being and hand them their sign. Then bringing them food and bottled drinks and offering the use of their bathrooms if the protest goes on long enough.

[@corydor4218]

Scott Esk, the individual you are referring to lost his primary. Even though he believed that the majority of his constituents agreed with him I think he was wrong. He and any Christian that agree with stoning homosexuals are ignorant and do not understand nor reflect the preaching's of Jesus.
