Based
I’m 40 this year I may just be getting too old but what does Based mean? I searched for it online previously and the explanation confused me but I see it everywhere along with cap/no cap and bet.
Not much younger than you, but I got you on the definitions.
I’d say based is more or less the opposite of the kids calling things cringe. Speaking truth to power is definitely based.
Cap means a lie or posing. It can be used as a verb to accuse someone of lying to (i.e. “You’re capping”). To say no cap means “I’m dead serious”.
Bet is basically an analog to ok.
This slang all essentially comes from hip-hop and the surrounding culture around it.
Thanking you kindly! I hear some of it at work but am often perplexed.
The article says…
…where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made two stiff-armed salutes that many interpreted as a fascist gesture.
Can’t say I care for that characterization. Half the world is trying to gaslight me about this but my fucking eyes work.
This sort of chickenshit faux neutrality is why people are losing faith in corporate media.
Now I’m a peaceful person, but I can’t deny there’s a slightly disappointing turn a few words into that headline.
Yea, too bad it’s just an effigy
Italians rule. First Luigi, now these guys
If Elon was just doing a Roman salute, then Luigi was just doing an Italian goodbye, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oligarchs are not bulletproof.
Fascists always end up swinging.
Wish we could just fast forward to that part.
Unfortunately they only hang after they’ve destroyed countless lives.

Una mattina mi sono alzato
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Una mattina mi sono alzato
E ho trovato l’invasor
O partigiano, portami via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
O partigiano, portami via
Ché mi sento di morir
E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir
E seppellire lassù in montagna
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
E seppellire lassù in montagna
Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior
Tutte le genti che passeranno
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
E le genti che passeranno
Mi diranno: “Che bel fior”
E questo è il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà
E questo è il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà

Now that’s how your protest.
Bravissimo! We Germans should chuck a burned “Leon Hitler” effigy in front of Hitler’s bunker in Berlin.
Ah yes, the perfect opposite of Leon Kennedy
If you do a search for this story there are almost no American media outlets reporting on it.
Just a small reminder that italians voted Mussolini’s niece to the government.
So they also swing both ways.
An effigy of the president of the united states??
Wow imagine doing this and never watching the original video. An autistic guy said my heart goes out to you, just watch/listen to the source. smh
We’ve all watched the video. Notice how when Elon is saying my heart goes out to you, he normally doesn’t sig heil.
