If Daniel Pinchbeck had never written any of his books--hell, if he'd never even been BORN--how exactly would these Guatemalan people be any better off? “It absolutely enrages me that while people I know in Guatemala…are struggling to figure out how to provide clean drinking water to their families, how to feed their communities, how to avoid being shot by the gangs and thieves that plague the roads more than ever—while they’re struggling to survive and keep their communities intact, assholes like Pinchbeck are making a buck off of white man’s parodies of their culture.” This quote is so offensively stupid in so many ways that it’s difficult to know where to start.

But it's odd that Xeni transmutes all of the unreason and woo surrounding 2012 into a commentary on the evils of white men. Don't really see the connection.
