once in an onion (satirical news) video I responded to an idiotic trump supporter in the comments with something along these lines using Google translate:
"[English] Yes, MAGA 2024 he is our savior.
[Russian] See my brothers this one has already been fooled. Soon he will worship the Russian empire."
I mean, it's all fictitious headcanon, I'm on board with this one.
"And as God declared homosexuality a sin, he made his second mistake, because their over representation led to a fabulous revolution. Fighting back against homophobic demons and damned souls, and freely inviting the homosexual demons into their territory, they created a vibrant new hell... With blackjack, and hookers."
I'm the official gay and I have my voucher for a penthouse suite and a bitchin meet and greet with the man himself, so you best believe that nightclub is my top priority. Well, once I finish having raunchy scandalous sex with adorable, hung subs. And I don't even have to wait to die for that!
"Based" (corruption of base head - from someone who smokes base - street name for crack cocaine) was popular as an insult in rap / African American circles in the early 00s
Rapper Lil B got called it and decided on a whim to pretend the meaning was changed to mean something positive, started using it in this way, it caught on - mostly through the new York scene and its attendant twitter following
As all slang does in the last ~100-150 years, passed from black people to everyone.
Tough word to define. "Based" comes from black culture, if I recall correctly. To describe something as based means, essentially, "I see that you are strong in your convictions and I approve of your position", implying perhaps that a person's opinion is potentially controversial. It also could be, "You have strong views that align with my subculture."
I've seen "based" used to describe a lot of things in the last ten years. Teenagers describing their desire to overthrow the capitalist system. Ecologists feeling that we should ban cars and return to driving buggies. Neonazis acknowledging another's dogwhistle. Usually, people are based, not ideas themselves.
You think most social media is stupid and you think we should nuke the internet? That's pretty based.
I know everyone here loves being edgy, but idolatry is forbidden, and Sodom and Gomorrah was about not following God’s word. (PS I am angry the homophobes have co-opted a story about Charity and Faith)
Yeah, that's one thing I don't get, and am unfamiliar with catholic dogma, so why is it okay for saints to be literally idolized by modern catholics? Or is it one of those "no true Scotsman" things...
Are you saying that because idolatry is forbidden no Christian could engage in it, even unwittingly? Because it sounds like that is what you're saying and it's pretty obvious that isn't true. Tons of people who call themselves Christians idolize the shit out of Trump for some insane reason I'll never understand.
