"Based goyim" is a slang term that combines the internet slang "based" (meaning unapologetically authentic, contrarian, or holding firm to one's principles, often against mainstream or "woke" norms) with "goyim," the Yiddish/Hebrew plural for "goy," which literally translates to "nations" but is commonly used to refer to non-Jews or Gentiles.

In online culture, particularly within alt-right, far-right, or "groyper" (a subset of white nationalist or anti-establishment online communities) circles on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and 4chan, "based goyim" typically describes non-Jewish individuals (often white or Western) who are seen as "awake" or aligned with certain contrarian views. These views frequently include antisemitic conspiracy theories, such as those alleging Jewish control over media, finance, or politics (e.g., references to "the goyim know, shut it down" memes, which mock supposed Jewish panic over non-Jews discovering these theories). It's often used ironically or approvingly by those in these communities to praise someone for rejecting perceived "Jewish influence" or globalist agendas, positioning the "based goy" as a heroic figure standing against an "other."

For example:

- In far-right memes, a "based goyim" might be someone like a politician or influencer who criticizes Israel, promotes isolationism, or echoes tropes about "Zionist Occupied Government" (ZOG).

- The term can carry a self-deprecating or empowering tone within these groups, implying that non-Jews are finally "noticing" and resisting, but it's rooted in divisive, often hateful rhetoric.

It's worth noting that "goyim" itself is neutral in Jewish contexts (simply meaning non-Jews, without inherent negativity), but in these online spaces, it's frequently weaponized with derogatory intent to imply inferiority or outsider status. The phrase "based goyim" thus amplifies this, blending empowerment for the speaker's in-group with exclusionary undertones. Outside these subcultures, the term isn't widely used and can come across as fringe or offensive.
