    "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 UA-cam. 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 UA-cam, 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.

      As an Iraqi Veteran, I am sorry for what happened there. I am still stricken with grief from what happened over there. Ever since my return I have tried my damnest to be a better human being. I joined a month after 9/11 and I was propagandized at a young age and I was expecting to be shipped to Afghanistan but was shipped to Iraq instead, that is no excuse. I have agency, but I am very remorseful with my contributions for how the USA destroyed Iraq. I am sorry.

    The sad thing is that Iraq didn’t have WMDs , also Iraq got nothing to do with 9/11 , why the states didn’t go after the people who’s responsible of the terror ?? 15 out of 19 hijackers of the planes were from Saudi Arabia, Bien laden is from Saudi Arabia, the Wahhabism , the radical Islam is from Saudi Arabia, why the states left Saudi Arabia and came and killed us and destroyed our country ?? in the end am one from millions who ran away as refugee and living far from my country and far from my family escaping from the militias and terrorists who threatened me by killing ??

    I was living in Montreal, Canada at the outset of the Iraq war, when the US president tried to pressure Canada's prime minister to send Canadian troops to pitch in. Our parliament said, ''Only as part of a UN peace keeping force. Never as part of an invading army''. Our prime Minister said, ''Um, well maybe a few. No wait, I didn't say that...I mean ummm...''. It was in the middle of winter and biting cold. 50,000 protesters took to the streets, peacefully. The following week was filled with more public statements identical to the above and the following Saturday, it was minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit ; 100,000 protesters took to the streets. One week later, our so-called government again refused to take a clear stance against military involvement. It was minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit and 200,000 protesters showed up. My husband said I was wasting my time because George W. ''Doesn't even know where Montreal is'', but our Prime Minister certainly did: he was born there. God bless the veterans who were betrayed; even if they appear to be totally wrecked, they still have a million times more character in their souls than the politicians who orchestrated this disaster and many more like it.

And he and Paul Martin were basically neoliberals themselves, yet they were to the left of 109 Democratic congresspeople.

    As a veteran, I urge my fellow veterans, active-duty soldiers, and those contemplating joining the military to stand up for the gennnoccide taking place in Palestine. When our grandkids ask us what did we do when the gennnoccide was happening, we should be able to say, I took a stand and I was on the right side of history. Or you can sit back and do nothing because you only stand for that paltry paycheck at the end of the month. For those with a soul and fear of meeting God one day, do what you can to speak against the Holocaust of Palestine.

    I heard of Tomas Young from the Soldiers who served with him. April 4, 2004 is a big deal for 2-5. They call it Black Sunday.
    I was assigned to the 2-5 Cav in 2005, one year after he was wounded. His story was told as a precaution on how dangerous the war was along with others who were killed and wounded. We had a soldier who was shot in the neck the same day and survived. He has a crazy looking scar, and showed us photos of it before and after surgery.
    The unit took training extremely serious and we were constantly reminded of 04/04/04. I remember seeing guys who were wounded and had amputations who had been medically separated come by and visit their friends who were still in the unit. I was a young 17, with no true idea of what war was going to be. I deployed in Oct 2006 and returned February 2008. I can honestly say that the kid I was died over there. I returned someone and something entirely different. I’m turning 37 this year, and medications and therapy has not helped much. Even closing in to two decades of separation since I stepped on that plane to fly back to Fort Hood, I carry that war with me.
    This video really broke my heart and brought back so many negatives feelings and memories. Rest in peace, Tomas Young. I never knew you personally but, I won’t ever forgot you.

      No, he wasn't physically forced but he was psychologically manipulated by the powerful wealthy to sacrifice his life for lies. This was a well meaning young man who thought enlisting was the right thing to do because of all the lies and gaslighting by the powerful and the media. He wasn't really responsible for that choice because he didn't understand the facts and was raised to believe these corrupt liars and institutions. That's why these people don't want to properly educate the masses. It's much easier to manipulate gullible marks that they've brainwashed since birth.

For all the money we threw away in Afghanistan and Iraq, we could have had free health care and prescription drugs for everyone in the U.S.

They all had one thing in common and that was how the government had only used them for their own gain & abandoned them thereafter. I learned that the govnt turned its back on the vets psychological & financial needs. I witnessed these same effects again during the 1st Operation Desert Storm, following the 9-11 invasion of Iraq, & Afghanistan.
