        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.

        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.

          Hey! It took us a good hundred years to get to the global scale. We were limited by oceans until the late 1800s.
