History of LithuaniaKitten

## The Beginning

The Subreddit for ***LithuaniaKittens*** was founded on April 19, 2018, by Paraguay\_Stronk. At this time, the Subreddit was "*...about Countryballs mocking furries...*" However, at the latter end of 2018, a group of unaffiliated users got "*tired of the oppression of some big meme subs, who were trying to enforce bullshit rules*" and the user *u/dwf209* discovered "*a peaceful little sub called the LithuaniaKittens.*" Thus, ***LithuaniaKittens*** as a Subreddit veered in the direction of becoming a "dank memes" Subreddit, with the freedom to post without the stringent rules enforced by large meme Subreddits, most notably r/DankMemes. The Subreddit would gain popularity, with posted memes even reaching r/all. The renaissance of ***LithuaniaKittens*** as a meme Subreddit, brought the birth of a new Discord server on the same day as the *u/dwf209* acquisition of the sub: December 18, 2018.

***LithuaniaKittens*** would also go on to become an affiliate Subreddit of r/AlliedHQ, which was founded March 26, 2018, and is the self-proclaimed "winners of the 3rd great meme war" which lasted from March 23 - March 27 of 2018. ***AlliedHQ*** would go on to have its own Discord server, yet both the Subreddit and the Server would only last a short time longer before falling into obscurity; with the ***AlliedHQ*** server being deleted.

## The Discord Server

### Early Days

The Discord Server also promptly named ***LithuaniaKittens*** surfaced on December 19, 2018, created by u/dwf209. The first two weeks of the Server would see an acclamation of 559 new users, key members of acive LitKit history would join within these two weeks such as

Possibly more missed due to deleted accounts not showing the previous name.

## Key Details

There are many factors of the ***LithuaniaKittens*** Discord Server, some of which can be explained, some can not; however, they are unequivocal truths to the essence of ***LithuaniaKittens***.

### *The LithuaniaKittens Paradox*

We have all heard of *Schrödinger's Paradox:* in which, a cat trapped in a box is both dead and alive as long as the cat itself remains unobserved, once observed, the cat takes upon the fate of being either dead or alive. This same principle applies to the *LithuaniaKittens Paradox.* In any topic, from racism and unadulterated discrimination to real world personal issues and struggles, it is unknown, no matter how obscene/offensive/absurd the statement is, if the user posting is being entirely serious or if none of it is. This is because the active users of ***LithuaniaKittens*** have delved into such a layer of irony and satire that the only topic that can be inferred as entirely serious, is that of their personal real world issues, posted (mostly) within the ***#Wholesome*** channel.

### Inherently Edgy

***LithuaniaKittens*** by foundation is an "edgier" space; the combination of both founding and current members being within the early to late teenage years as well as the ***LithuaniaKittens*** identity was founded by disgruntled users of r/DankMemes due to their rules against more unsavory content, the idea that "No joke can be taken too far" is founded in the heart of ***LithuaniaKittens***. The concept is found in the many aspects of even the current status of the LithuanianKittens discord server, to a milder extent. Older renditions of the server had an even more depraved sense of what could not only be posted, but appreciated with humor. Content such as the full *Christchurch Mosque Shooting* video uncensored[1], depicting the *Fortnite* overlay and sound effects, featuring *Fortnite* streamer *Tyler "Ninja" Blevins*' webcam and him "raging"; videos of *ISIS* hostages burnt alive with the *Dance-Dance Revolution* overlay and music*[to be sourced],* as well as the lost but not forgotten ***#what-the-fuck*** channel.

#### Extensive Racism

While the previous sub-heading should have given you a clue as to the reason of such extensive racism, it is profound in its own right, the sheer *scale* of ironic racism within the ***LithuaniaKittens*** echo chamber. Past events such as *Competitive Racism* in which users (primarily **Woody** and **Cloro**) would partake in seeing who was the most racist, by screaming the N-word as loud and as fast as they could in the voice chat for no reason other than entertainment. (As well as for the record, **Woody** remains the undisputed champion). While it is unknown how much racism in the past of ***LithuaniaKittens*** was ironic/edgy and how much of it truly reflected the beliefs of members as the server delved into the more satirical form of racism; however, the current state of ***LithuaniaKittens*** is that all racism currently is that of irony and humor; either a well-timed/made joke in the middle of a conversation, or something not so eloquent as to appeal to the lower IQ end of the spectrum such as **Hendicted**.

##### Rampant Antisemitism

An extension onto the sub-head of **Extensive Racism**, it is notable to document the sheer mass of the racism being Antisemitic in nature. It is no argument that much of the racist humor falls back onto the classic tropes of blacks and the use of the N-word, but Antisemitism has been a staple of racist humor within ***LithuaniaKittens*** since the early days. With a bot that tracks how long it has been since "Jew" or "Jews" has been said, and prominent figures such as **Woody** being a major contributor towards antisemitic humor, with such scale and earnestness in his words it is unknown if **Woody** is truly the pinnacle achievement of ironic or if he was actually just antisemitic and racist*.*

*"Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be ~~racists~~ idiots will eventually be flooded by actual ~~racists~~ idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company." - fucking 4chan apparently*

### Masked Inclusivity

All this talk of racism, depraved humor, and discrimination paints a bad light of the ***LithuaniaKittens*** discord server, however, refer to the aforementioned *LithuaniaKittens Paradox*, and see this is where the "entirely serious" portion comes in. While the very nature of ***LithuaniaKittens*** humor is at the expense of others, it is to such a severe degree of "inside-jokes" and understanding of each other (or at least our internet personas) that new members can not even see through the veil and realize that we are only ironic. There in lies the truth that is buried under the sheer amount of discriminatory humor, that we all respect each other (to a degree) which should be pretty fucking obvious given that like; 3/4 of the currently active users are mentally ill, not a single active member shares the same ethnic background as the other, multiple queer active users, and that's pretty much it tbh; but yeah gets the point across.

### The Lost History

***LithuaniaKittens*** history has been lost many times, from **Jethro** deleting general, to Deuk **accidentally** linking CP and the entire server requiring a purge; it is inherent that the contents of this Wiki will not be complete to the small detail as the history has been lost in such tragedies that haven't been seen since the burning of Alexandria.

### The Golden Era

While it is unknown when, exactly, ***LithuaniaKittens*** officially "fell off", The timeframe from the launch of the server towards the end of 2019 is considered the best stage of the ***LithuaniaKittens*** life-cycle. This time frame had the most active users simply put, with active users, a useful mod team, a *purpose* (being the server of an at the time Active Subreddit); all of these factors adding to the experience of golden age of ***LithuaniaKittens***.

## Important Events

Currently, the LitKit timeline is quite fucked, as such, notable events are posted down below with possible lack of dates and details.

### *The Rorrreth Purge*

January 1st, 2019 - The "RorrroR/Rorrreth Prune" is when the (no longer active) user **Rorrreth** (or **RorrroR**) with his mod permissions, purged the server of 56 members.

### *Lorax Rebellion*

Between the Dates January 23 - January 25 of 2019, Lorax led his rebellion in which *"nothing really happened lmao" - Lorax*

### *Lorax's Banishment*

On May 32, 2019 - Lorax unexpectably leaves, it is revealed that his dad got mad at him for *"some dumb reason"* and *"banished me from using it [discord] forever"*.

### *The First Great Cleanse*

After the rise of the BLM movement, there was a rumor going around that discord was going to delete racist servers, due to our competitive racism, Maggle decided that most public channels had to be deleted. Maggle has tried very hard to make people forget this.

### *The Second Great Cleanse*

Unknown Date - **Jethro**, in a flurry of emotion, deleted #general.

### *The Greater Cleanse*

Unknown Date - **Deuk**, in his superb intelligence, posted a TOR link without knowing what it was. Of course, it was discovered to link to CP and the server had to be purged in order to ensure its protection.

### *Attempted Revival*

There were previous attempts at the resurrection of the ***LithuaniaKittens*** discord server to the state at which it used to be. The first attempt was the acceptance that ***LithuaniaKittens*** was not unique, in order to "stand out", events were theorized that would bring user interaction to a whole new level beyond memes and internet personas. At first there were music events, in which LitKit members would play their instruments in the #general VC, the first Music Event would be held on Saturday, July 11, 2020. Also, conceived around the same time, Movie events were proposed, in which **NigerianNutsack** (current username **Skeletors Baby Daddy**) would stream movies live in the #general VC, and upon his absence would be streamed by **Syotos**. The first movie night would occur on Saturday, July 18, 2020; yet unfortunately both the Movie Night and Music Event would fail in its endeavor, while the music event is accepted to have been far more successful than the movie nights (primarily due to interest and time-zones), these events would not last and ***LithuaniaKittens*** would return to a generic "community" server.
