Please tell me it's satire, Heartfield.
Almost every thing in you local store has traveled thousands of miles by truck, plane and/or container ship. And the fuel to ship it with has been massively subsidized. The agricultural output that sustains us is based on the motorized application of increasing quantities of petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides because these things lose their effectiveness as they come to disrupt the natural systems of soil regeneration and pest control.
And overwhelminly, you think it's a good thing that the commodity, labour power, travels to work by car?
