Based, don't let the Empire bully you.

What does based mean in this context?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 month ago

Very cool and good.

Based is used approvingly to describe someone who projects a lack of concern about how others feel about their actions or opinions. It can also describe a thing, such as an action or event, perceived as both bold and commendable, especially if it challenges or flouts convention in some way.

Deployed from Venezuelan naval bases. I believe jet fighter intercepts would also qualify.

Yes! Gotta stand up to this idiotic administration. Sen. Kelly is doing it, showing everyone that you should not let this asshole bully and silence you into submission. These fools shall one day soon pay for their abhorrent war crimes.

Gonna be honest, I don't consider the DNC to be opposition, more collusion. The US Empire has always been a genocidal plunderer, at a global scale too.
