"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 YouTube. 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 YouTube, 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.

I've worked 12 hour workdays. It's horrible. You're basically just working, eating, and sleeping the entire day.

12 hours of work
8 hours of sleep
4 hours of thinking right wing libertarianism is a coherent ideology

Right wing libertarianism is a nice code word for advocate of total corporate rule without any constraints.

I once had a conservative coworker who said he'd rather work more hours and get paid less per hour. And he was one of the most lazy workers in the company, so it wasn't about work ethic. He was just brainwashed. It's sad how some people place such little value on their lives

I’ve been doing 60+ hr work weeks for the last month.

It’s pushed my body to the point I’m home sick with pneumonia. It’s simply not sustainable for anyone with a real (read: not executive) job.

12 hour work day with no overtime - coming to a U.S. corporation near you.

12 hour work days are only proposed by people who don’t have to work.

My husband works 12-16 hours and it’s horrible. Our personal situation makes us desperate. Please don’t normalize this.

Forget Luigi. We need the whole Super Smash Bros. roster here at Argentina.

12 hours of work 2 hours of commute if you are lucky, 8 hours of sleep if you want to keep healthy, 2 hours to do whatever you have the energy to do. This is not sustainable.

If I had the choice I’d honestly consider being homeless than working 12 hours a day. Unless your job is stimulating and enjoyable (few are), what is even the point of living if you’re spending all of it working? When you work that many hours you’re not a worker—you’re a slave.

I predicted this years ago. The libertarian way could only end up in Neofeudalism where you are an employee, not a citizen, and the new overlords will pay you in tokens that you could only spend at their businesses. In the absence of the state, Corporations would create their own armies to fight for resources, and so on... It's all starting in Argentina

You can be sure someone has never worked a 12 hour day [Doing actual work] when they talk about it in a cavalier way.

Some more "benefits" of Milei's policies:
12, 000 businesses have closed down in his first year.
Automobile production is down 17%.
Just under 2 million Argentinians are vacationing in Brazil, almost 3 times the number of Americans, because everything is so expensive in Argentina that it is cheaper to vacation in Brazil.
Inflation is still at 166%, not the 100% I commented earlier.
Argentina is issuing automobile paper license plates for the lack of aluminium and the breaking down of ancient printing machines.

This is the stuff they did to coal miners back in the 1800s! They got paid in script that was only useable in the mine owned general store.
