Kyle Kulinski Has An Overactive Imagination

Turd Ferguson • May 04, 2023

Kyle Kulinski knows almost nothing about current events, politics, or economics.

One of the most internet's most difficult people to take seriously is Kyle Kulinski. Kulinski hosts a show on YouTube called "The Kyle Kulinski Show" (formerly Secular Talk) on his YouTube channel "Secular Talk."


Interestingly enough, despite hosting a show specifically devoted to discussing politics, economics, and current events, Kyle Kulinski happens to know noticeably very little about any of the subjects. Ironically, Kulinski claims he has a degree in political sciences, which is pretty ridiculous, considering he knows so little about the subject.


Kulinski frequently discusses Bernie Sanders' Medicare For All proposal on his show, which he clearly loves, but he also likes to make fun of people on his show for asking the legitimate question of how the policy would be paid for. The cost of this proposal (even from the left) sits at close to $58 trillion dollars over 10 years (although this figure is actually disputed by the original author of the study the left likes to cite to make the claim that the proposal would "save" the American people $2 trillion over 10 years).



Upon clicking the video above, you may notice that it begins with a hilarious clip of Kyle Kulinski making stupid noises with his mouth and making fun of the phrase "how are you going to pay for it?" in reference to Medicare For All. Kulinski obviously doesn't think this is a serious question, and from what we can tell and have researched here at Ending Politics, he's never actually addressed the question on any of his videos, suggesting to us at least, that he has no idea.


But Kulinski's child-like and imaginary U.S. policy analysis doesn't stop there, and actually becomes far more hilarious the deeper you dig. Kyle Kulinski actually believes that the government, similar to stock market triggers, could somehow create some sort of "pause button," which upon "pressing," would immediately stop all economic activity in the United States. The "pause button" Kulinski referred to in one of his videos is actually more of a metaphor, analogical to a set of emergency-initiated protocols that the federal government would enact in a time of crisis. Kulinski's "economic pause button" is probably the single-most child-like and imaginary of all the policies Kulinski has fantasized about on his show, and therefore we think it's noteworthy to mention in this article.


Of course, legally-speaking, such a thing is completely unconstitutional and therefore completely inexecutable anyway. There's nothing in the constitution, any law every passed by congress, or for that matter, even any supreme court case that would ever actually permit the government to do such a thing.


But what's more, even if such a practice was legal, it would be completely impractical, and actually next-to impossible to actually successfully execute. Markets and the economy are far more powerful than any branch of government or politician - even the most powerful man in the world, the POTUS - and even if such a "button" were to be "pressed," it would never be able to shut down all economic activity in a given region anyway. Pretending for a moment that all "licensed," incorporated business owners in a given economy would just succumb to such an authoritarian edict from any government anywhere is hard enough to imagine, but pretending that no black market entity would immediately take over to supply the desired product or service sought is completely impossible. A great example of this in practice right now is the drug war, which the federal government has been fighting for decades completely unsuccessfully.


The "pause button on the economy" is admittedly one of our favorite Kyle Kulinski crackpot theories.



One of Kyle Kulinski's most idiotic clips though comes from his brazen oversimplification of how to win elections. Kulinski seemingly truly believes that if politicians (particularly on the left) were to just step up on debate stages, and (deceptively) promise the American people progressive policies, that the "Republican Party [would] be in an minority from now until the end of time."


This is of course ridiculous, as politicians on the left have literally been doing exactly what Kyle Kulinski told them to do in the preceding paragraph for generations now, and the Republicans certainly haven't been in a "permanent minority."


On a brief side note, we sometimes wonder if Kulinski truly believes the things he says on his show, or if he just talks out of his ass so frequently because he knows it's exactly what his audience (which we guess primarily consists of simpletons) wants to hear.


But we digress, the Democrats getting up on debate stages, lying about everything they're going to hand Americans on a silver platter, and then simply getting his or her name on the ballot, hasn't landed the Republicans in a permanent minority and the Democrats in a permanent majority. There are a bunch of reasons why of course, so many that we can't list even close to all of them in this article, but a couple examples are the rising national debt and an economy that's seemingly falling apart right in front of the eyes of the American people, the looming threat of the social welfare programs the Democrats so often praise becoming insolvent, as well as social conservatism, which even the most fiscally-responsible Democrats certainly haven't embraced. All that said, Kulinski's oversimplification of how easily Democrats should be able to win elections is just yet another example of his child-like, imaginary political dreams.




This article may become just one of a much larger series we do on Kyle Kulinski here at EndingPolitics.com, because making fun of Kulinski's ignorance is certainly a ton of fun, especially for a group of people who live in the real world and understand politics much better than a guy who reportedly has a degree in it. Until then though, we'd like to thank Stephen Michael Davis, whose YouTube channel helped us supply the content of this article. We do recommend you head on over to YouTube and subscribe to his channel, because you'll probably enjoy a good bit of his videos if you appreciate the content on our blog.
