The driver had his phone plugged in through the stereo and was streaming an episode through the car speakers – loud, as if trying 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 talk show political show that Kulinski has on YouTube. I told him, yes, actually. I like Kulinski, I had come across his show several times. “Years ago, and all things considered, he had the looks pretty good. “He understands what we’re facing,” Ahmed said. “Like Bernie.” But I was surprised to hear Kulinski’s name mentioned in the same breath as Bernie Sanders’, especially with such adoration. Because what I remembered of Kulinski’s show struck me as an essentially “progressive” view of the news with a capital P – the left wing of the party. The Netroots unite more than the democratic socialism that Sanders popularized. It’s an impression that wasn’t entirely wrong. “I don’t have time for philosophical, airy bullshit,” Kulinski tells me from his home in Westchester, New York. “I want to hear about Lenin. I don’t want to hear about Marx. I just want a clear, clear program, with a direct way of selling it.” With more than 800,000 subscribers and nearly 670 million total views on YouTube, selling a progressive agenda is clearly something Kulinski knows how to do – even Democracy Now, the longtime flagship of progressive media, can’t match his reach on the platform. can certainly boast an extremely devoted fan base (and a significant degree of media influence), but their audience is roughly half that of Kulinski’s. While Secular Talk might be more likely to be connected to the progressive networks around Air America and Pacifica. Old-timers like Sam Seder make the world more decidedly socialist, Kulinski’s fiery rhetoric, razor-sharp class instincts, and talent for scathing takedowns set 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 broadcasting Secular Talk on his Internet network seven years ago — Kulinski, 32, is virtually invisible in the mainstream media. Despite his enormous fan base, his show was never mentioned in the obligatory “millennial left” trending articles run by prestige media outlets. Kulinski’s name also never appeared in the New York Times, Vox, the New Yorker, New York Magazine or the Washington Post, despite his leading role in co-founding Justice Democrats, the widely recognized organization for sweeping Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the “squad” into power. Last week, his Wikipedia page was deleted. The reason? “There is simply no (reliable source) coverage on this person,” according to one moderator. In new media, he is king – the Sean Hannity of the Berniecrat left. In the old media, he’s a nobody. I suspect there are several reasons for this. There’s nothing “cool” about Kulinski’s show. (As a friend put it: “‘Welcome to secular discourse’ sounds like something you’d hear on Egyptian radio.”) His pragmatic social-democratic policies won’t win him much credibility among advocates of full communism. . He records his show not in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, but in a studio he built himself in his modest Westchester home. Her hair is too styled and her clothing tastes too preppy to qualify as “Dirtbag Left.” He has never attended a n+1 release party either. “Not only did I not participate in it,” he said, “but I have no idea what it means. » And yet, he is surprisingly hip for a young man from the suburbs. Wondering how Sanders ended up in the Joe Rogan experiment? Kulinski, a frequent guest on Rogan’s wildly popular show, introduced them. “You mean the most to me,” Rogan told Kulinski during a recent episode. “You are a normal person.” Much like Sanders himself, Kulinski’s show has a massive audience that simply doesn’t fit our media’s understanding of “what kids want” or even “what kids on the left want.” This is probably for the best – the very woke, very WASP decorum that haunts much of the media world is nowhere to be found in secular discourse. “Corporate Democrats focus too much on identity as a gimmick to distract you from the issues that unite us all — issues of class,” he said on a recent episode. “That Raytheon decided they didn’t hate gays or trans people – frankly, I don’t care what they think about that…” Read more here! : https://jacobinmag.com/2020/03 /kyle-kulinski-bernie-bros-secular-talk-joe-rogan-youtube #KyleKulinski #SecularTalk
