How the crap is that story about his willpower and perseverance and not the horrific system he's trapped in?

Because that's the society we live in. If he just would have made the right choices and decisions, he wouldn't have to gig all the time to keep himself alive.

He just should have become famous enough to pay for his treatment, or chosen another career path. This really is just his own fault for being stupid and unprepared.

Isn't that something numbers or fish would say?

Guy was amazing as fuck.
