There tin last no greater proof that nosotros are at i time living inwards an era of identity politics than the recent LIDL supermarket saga that erupted afterward the vast, German-owned supermarket chain airbrushed simply about Christian crosses from a motion-picture demo on its packaging of baklava sweetness pastries, which it sells nether the advert "Eridanous."

But now, thank you lot to the Alt-Right together with other identitarian movements, insults similar this against White European Christendom no longer become unnoticed. Europeans are awakening, equally the social media displace against Lidl showed, shortly bringing the supermarket chain to heel alongside this abject apology.
"We are sorry for whatsoever offence caused past times the artwork on our Eridanous range," the German linguistic communication discount store said inwards a statement. "We tin confirm that nosotros volition last revising the pattern equally shortly equally possible. We made a error inwards the well-nigh recent revision of the production pattern together with are at i time treating the consequence alongside the highest priority."
