Lithuanian Singer Vitulskis Spars With Dragūnas-SEL Over Opinions

Lithuanian singer Merūnas Vitulskis has publicly voiced strong disagreement with statements made by fellow artist Egidijus Dragūnas, also known as SEL or Vudis. The exchange highlights a public debate on how to engage with differing opinions, particularly in the context of sensitive societal issues.

How can you be even one foot with the aggressor's opinion?

Dominykas Kubilius, host of the program "Ant laužo" (On the Fire), shared a video clip on Facebook featuring excerpts from a podcast interview where Vudis expressed his views. Vudis suggested the importance of accepting diverse opinions without becoming agitated and emphasized the possibility of remaining neighbors and friends, even within Lithuania, and appreciating life itself.

However, Vudis's remarks, particularly his statement about being able to be neighbors and friends with anyone, prompted a sharp reaction from Vitulskis. When Vudis said, "We can all still be neighbors, we can be friends, we can live in one Lithuania and rejoice that we are alive at all," Vitulskis responded sarcastically but firmly. He questioned Vudis's stance, asking, "How can you be even one foot with the aggressor's opinion?"

Vitulskis further elaborated on his stance, using a sarcastic analogy: "Okay, Vudi, I will come to your yard and build a house. I will build a house and you will be my neighbor – that's my opinion. I want a house in your yard and I will do whatever I want." The full conversation between Vitulskis and Kubilius is available on Kubilius's Patreon channel.

Okay, Vudi, I will come to your yard and build a house. I will build a house and you will be my neighbor – that's my opinion. I want a house in your yard and I will do whatever I want.
