Claiming something is based literally means it's based on something. That something is usually expected to be some fact or some research. If that something is just your opinion, than it's misleading to use the term based. The whole point of my original reply to the OP was seeking citations for his claim. Why did you even reply if it was just to add an opinion?

Why are you still on the whole global government thing? It has nothing to do with this discussion.

"based" in that context, like "my friend is pretty based" is slang. Very common in circles that are happy about the election outcome and the current US economy etc. Admittedly it's recent (2016ish) slang in that usage. It's basically like like saying "my friend is well grounded" or more specifically "my friend has self consistent opinions" with a touch of "I agree with my friends opinions". Please don't ask me for a cite, it's too new, and I would rather not link to a hundred thousand reddit posts.

Based as slang just means your cool, essentially. The quintessential example being BasedGod

based is more like 2008 slang
