whenever i use the term (which is pretty rare these days due to severe overuse i’ll admit) it encompasses the first two definitions; i’ve actually never seen it used for the third.

Note it’s a very common phrase among young people, so I wouldn’t put much weight on the section about alt-right appropriation. It is definitely used by them, but it’s as appropriated as “cool” is.

Ugh! You, people, and your new words! Okay, so, as far as I can tell “based” can mean one of at least three things.
Worthy of support
Not caring what others think
“debased” stripped of its significance
So, could you please, tell me which “based” this one is. Or is there a fourth definition I missed. I see it everywhere, so, I need to understand the word in order to understand message.
