Etymology & Simulation Lesson:
"Based" used to reference free-based cocaine (Crack) and this was an insult, because it referenced the person was a crackhead.
"Based" was then re-branded by Lil B "The BasedGod" in early 2011, who took a different approach to typical gangster rap, by making it a meme, more feminine, gay, and absurd and created a cult-like following, including soulja boy who was influenced by his work.
"Based" was then taken by now-older right-winged kids who rebranded the usage of it's "cool" aspect into a political stance combining it with pepe the frog to support trump, being outspoken, and free speech.
"Based" was then taken by Coinbase and a shitty NFT collection which likely has no idea of the first two stages, has no idea what it's actually referencing, and is extremely ironic considering the freedom-onchain and distribution of a pseud-form of gambling.
