Oddly enough, it actually came from people in like 2012 posting about "Abrahamic Based religion" which over time went through normal meme absurdity meaning closer and close to being relatable but extreme against idiot social norms, while being shortened to just based.
i.e. for stupid example, the cabbage salesman in Avatar being a "based cabbage merchant", or the my pillow guy being a "based pillow merchant". Even later on with stickman at the trump rallies bashing facists "anitfa" paid rioters in the head as a "based stick merchant"
Start replacing "Based <blue collar job>" with just based and here you are.

Kyle Chapman, also known by the nickname Based Stickman, is an American white nationalist and alt-right activist. He earned his nickname and prominence in the alt-right movement after he was recorded beating an anti-fascist counter-protester with a stick at the March 2017 March 4 Trump rally in Berkeley, California.
I vaguely remember he tried to make a name for himself by showing up to other events and referring to himself as “based stickman” but he turned out being kind of weird.
2023 is gonna be fun with the memes making fun of Lyin' Ted Cruz again, that's for sure. He thinks he is gonna be the Republican candidate because he also thinks he was the "runner up" in 2016. What a loser!
I actually got a stone one for Christmas lol. Its pretty sweet, Ive made handmade guac a few times and now I dont even want the store bought kind. Its made of some kind of volcanic rock.
I don’t know about anyone else but it made perfect sense to me the first time I read it on 4chan. “Based”. Yes, makes sense. If you don’t understand it just turn 360 degrees and walk out of the room.
Jesus's "trademark" phrase is usually translated "Kingdom of Heaven." That same Greek phrase can also be translated as the "basic things of Heaven."
Jesus came to teach the basic things of Heaven. If you will base your beliefs, your words, your actions, your habits on His teaching, and play out the roles you find yourself in, in His character, then nothing will be impossible to you.
For, to be based on the basic things of Heaven, is to be absolutely based.
God is.
God is goodness. God is love.
God's Word is Truth.
Jesus Christ is Lord, and God raised Him from the dead.
Base everything you got on these simple ideas, and you will become unshakeable!
John 3:16 ESV
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
I always thought of the term "Based" referring to the parable of the wise man building his house on the rocks as opposed to the foolish man building his house on the sand.
Based, as opposed to acidic. Like Marxists tend to be. They corrode and distort society around them and we need to bring more based patriots into the mix
based
A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.
The latter usage is the original use as coined by rapper Lil B, and the word originally took off on the meta-ironic website 4Chan with the latter meaning. For that reason the word is largely used meta-ironically (without context you can't tell if it's being used ironically or sincerely as it's used in both ways) and was popularized in online political slang of conservatives and the political right before being adopted into mainstream online political slang (likely through shitposting websites or subreddits such as r/politicalcompass memes that are similar to 4chan in their meta-irony and "edginess" but contain a wider variety of political beliefs) and eventually adopted into general online vernacular.
When used in online political language it can mean "based in fact" or the opposite of biased due to the number of people who saw it being first used seriously by the online political right and came to the conclusion that is was related to the phrase "destroyed with facts and logic" in reference to right wing personality Ben Shapiro. * (added for emphasis by BA) (cringe but lol)
I always thought it was "based in reality."
Yes. This is as close to a correct answer as anything.
"Woke" is fantasy. "Based" is reality.

i thought it had to do with Lil B aka “Based God” who predates 2012
This is the actual origen of the phrase. Its come to mean "someone who thinks for themselves"
This is the right answer.
Based Stick Man. Wonder what that dude is up to.
The wokepedia entry needs updated:
That is hilarious.
I vaguely remember he tried to make a name for himself by showing up to other events and referring to himself as “based stickman” but he turned out being kind of weird.
-based meme info merchant
I always thought it meant "grounded" or "principled"
I thought that it was the opposite of debased.
TYBG
lol what a unique gimmick account
I assumed based in truth.
"Based" is the antonym of "debased".
Grounded. Human. Salt of the Earth! So wide you can't get around it! So low, you can't get under it! Yugely, Bigly Based.
I'm based, like a baseball player on base? Or maybe baste, like a Thanksgiving turkey? You saying I'm a turkey??
Nah I'm just saying the way you tell it was based ya know.
KEK, you're funny...
Funny? Funny, how?
Now everybody funny
What, like a clown? You calling me a clown?
Funny HA HA or funny weird???
Like the opposite of trebled. As in you dont let anything trouble you.
Simple '' Based on ''COMMONSENSE'' !!
LOL, I remember way back when people started using this term, and I was like, what the hell is based?
Guacamole merchant
Please clap
The hoodie lmao
Please guac...
LOL at Jeb! Wonder if he'll try to run again?
Dude, it looks like Hillary is going to run. Can you even imagine if it's Trump vs Side-of-beef again?
OMG, it's gonna be INSANE!
Shes not going to run. Joe will be 25th'd and Kamala will take Hillary as VP, right before she commits suicide.
You may be onto something....
As much as I can't stand Potato, and I can't even imagine Heels Up in office.
Rubio will do it if we provide lots of bubbles
Tiny bubbles! For the Miami Maricon!
2023 is gonna be fun with the memes making fun of Lyin' Ted Cruz again, that's for sure. He thinks he is gonna be the Republican candidate because he also thinks he was the "runner up" in 2016. What a loser!
Well he already won everything so idk what’s even left for him to conquer.
Because he’s irrelevant now but those were glorious memes.
Jeb! memes were amazing. Mocking his superiority complex and "Bush dynasty" nonsense was so easy the memes wrote themselves.
Christ, I forgot about ALL of those. The meme potential for his campaign was endless. lol
I actually got a stone one for Christmas lol. Its pretty sweet, Ive made handmade guac a few times and now I dont even want the store bought kind. Its made of some kind of volcanic rock.
I like the ol' "that's it?!" Every time a horrible crime was committed or there was some huge startling revelation.
We've lost a lot of what went around in 2016. When was the last time you heard about people giving new pedes coats? Makes me sad.
To be fair, a lot of handshakes kinda suck.
coatbot and brickbot were the best things ever
I don’t know about anyone else but it made perfect sense to me the first time I read it on 4chan. “Based”. Yes, makes sense. If you don’t understand it just turn 360 degrees and walk out of the room.
BASED AND REDPILLED
Adhering to base moral principles.

Young Based god.

You know they were improvising that scene? That’s why Ray Liotta’s reaction is so good. He’s at a complete loss.
Damn i had no idea and it's one of my favorite movies
Hey, no wait. He is a big boy, he knows what he said!
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m a little fucked up, but what’s funny about me? Like the way I talk?
Well your funny, funny like a clown you fucking jackass. What ya gonna do, punk?
I'm free and I'm based.
Freebased?
Freesed? Bree? Do hamsters enjoy brie?
Hamsters love all cheese, but especially brie.
Note: Velveta slices do not qualify as cheese, so keep that Soylent crap away from my cage.
KEK!
I remember first time I heard that term was from the Based Stick Man memes. Had to ask what that meant.
now people are asking themselves "based stick man?" lol
Immigrants to T_D don't know the ancient Kekistani customs and history. They must learn and assimilate.
Shadily!
Based & Loaded.
What am I here to inspire you to fight tyranny? One of these fucking MAGA folk? How the fuck am I based? YOU tell me….

Based, as opposed to acidic. Like Marxists tend to be. They corrode and distort society around them and we need to bring more based patriots into the mix
How the f*&k am I based? What the F!CK IS SO BASED ABOUT ME? TELL ME.
It's about having a wide base, a base you can't be pushed off.
Maybe we're freebased. I mean we're free and we're based, right?

Based is good. High energy based is great.

“ Based like how?”
“ Do I inspire you? Based like how?”
Top kek!
There is nothing left.
And that's the point.
Based = Common Sense BASED in/on Reality
You are "Based" for thinking Men are Men & Women are Women
Damn that comedians jokes were "Based" tonight
These are just a few examples and the best explanation of Based i can give

Based - Foundational. The foundation from which all else is built upon. And the thing if it collapses, everything comes down with it.

Jajaja, we are becoming less tolerant. It’s beautiful.
I'll be honest, i have never understood the term ever since "based stickman" was a thing
Intelligent enough to see past your own belly button.
