The fact that there are people here victim blaming instead of losing their shit that it wasn't just made possible for him to work so long, but probably encouraged (if not directly by his employer, then by the desperate need for money for survival, or even the artificial and external pressures of capitalist "aspiration") is fucking scary, and it's the people doing it, thinking they're above being impacted by these external pressures that are the most susceptible to them (literally participating in it now - blaming the victim exclusively serves the system that killed him and those who uphold it for their personal gain).
