His writing and speaking often focus on the news that \u201cwe live in an economy that is based on the destruction of places all over world.\u201d In this 2015 interview, Jensen explains what he calls \u201can unprecedented set of threats to the possibility of ongoing, large-scale, human habitation of the planet.\u201d   Jensen takes a critical approach to media and power. Much of his work has focused on pornography, a radical feminist critique of sexuality and men's violence, and white privilege and institutionalized racism. He has written:   \u201cIf there is to be a decent future, we have to give up on the imperial fantasy of endless power, the capitalist fantasy of endless growth, the technological fantasy of endless comfort\u2026we should mourn the world that these systems have created and search for something better. Systems that celebrate domination are death cults, not the basis for societies striving for justice and sustainability.\u201d Learn more about Robert Jensen at http:\/\/www.conversationearth.org This is an encore presentation from Season One.
