"Based beliefs"? But they are so clichéd, so mainstream even. Let's try some really based beliefs:

Men cannot give birth, unless they go through some amazing, to come synthetic biology transformations. Are you afraid by women with a penis today? Just you wait for the tomorrow man with a penis, two vaginas, tail, two wheels, and tentacles.

Guns don’t kill people; people kill people, but let's just melt all the guns. We tried some centuries with pistols, rifles, and such, let's see what happens if we melt all the guns for the next few centuries.

A fetus is a human being, and we should kill that human being if we want just as we kill hundreds of thousands of people through whatever: from pollution to housing policies. Don't want a fetus to die? Sure, take those cells evacuated from the formerly pregnant body and grow them in a tube, inject them into your own body, go wild.

Socialism has failed everywhere it’s been tried, so let's try just making food, shelter, and healthcare free, just for kicks: self-planting/harvesting bots in the fields, 3D printed houses, automated medical diagnosis and surgeries, and while at it, let's just cancel all the pharmaceutical patents and general biochemical restrictions, let everyone print elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor or heroin in the comfort of their own home.

Discriminating against white people is racism, so let's start solving racism: start with the largest group of victims, you know, the minorities.

That's what's so funny about the modern generation of redpilled alt-right iconoclasts. They're literally just regurgitating beliefs that were banal in their grandparents' time. You're not radical if everything you believe was already being lampooned by All in the Family back in the 1970s.
