Based means correct and admirable, albeit often sort of controversial. It started (with this meaning) as a term in online political circles, but has devolved into being applicable to pretty much anything. It can be used as a single word response to something you agree with but you also perceive as something not universally accepted by society, or something really dumb or silly. It can also be used as an adjective with the same use. It can also be used to refer to a person you agree with. The word based is sometimes but not always used with the terms or variants of the terms “and redpilled”, a reference to The Matrix.

Evokes structural imagery. Cemented.
Used to agree with a statement or action. Particularly used when a statement or action is against the prevailing vibe
(counter-culture). The word based reflects the idea or action's stability, as opposed to other ideas or actions which can evoke feelings of fragility. The word itself is strong enough to be used on it's own and not require any explanation. To say something is based is to very strongly agree with it.
Contrary to modern discourse, the word does not carry political connotations. The connotation of the word is solely dependent on the context in which it is stated (e.g. within "the room's" counterculture)
Person 1: People ought to be saving more money rather than spending, to lessen the economic burden on the everybody else.
Person 2: Based.
(Americans save the least out of any modern economy. Acknowledging this and it's effects is based because the statement requires no further explanation. It is something that is "just true")
Person 1: *makes a mistake, acknowledges it, and works to correct it*
Person 2: Based.
(Somebody has to fix this mess I've made, and they won't like it. I'll clean it myself to save them the trouble, because it's "just right" to do so).
