I don't think I've ever seen someone use "based" in an apolitical sense to mean "based in reality"?? I've seen it exclusively in alt right/nazi contexts but maybe I don't get out enough

My teens in Rockville, MD use it at dinner, but they may be trolling me

I've seen it used plenty by non alt right people, but I still don't love it because of the right wing connotation

yeah it's *never* meant "based in fact" and it's much older slang than this writer seems to think. "based" originated in the term "base" for cocaine and was imported into gamer-speak from hip hop.

it started out elsewhere, but like tiny mustaches, it's a fun thing that got ruined by nazis.
