This depends on how you define success.
Edit: Huh, I thought this was a pretty tame comment. I just mean that donkeys likely have a different idea of "success" than people do. I'm not quite sure why this is being taken so negatively. I just thought the meme was kind of silly and dumb.

It was literally defined in the picture, by hard work.

How do you defines success then?

In my experience also the donkey. But management is more like roosters. Strutting around ready to annoy whoever crosses their path and looking mighty important while not really doing anything.

As opposed to managers however the roosters tend to actually warn their flock about and get into fights with predators like foxes or hawks and not leave the nest with a big bag of bird feed when a fox comes.

If I'm a donkey, I define it as having good apples, tasty carrots, lots of oats, and companionship from other animals and humans.
I'm also amazed that this comment, of all of my comments, is one of my most downvoted on lemmy. I thought it was pretty tame and just pointed out the silliness of the meme.

No, it says that hard work "leads to success" not that "hard work is success". Typically, when applied to people, success doesn't mean working hard. It means attaining something the person wants. In the case of a donkey, their personal definition of success is likely different than for a person. That is what I meant by my comment.

You see, your issue was that you didn’t Yes-Amen a meme against capitalism. On Lemmy that is a cardinal sin. Now read from The Capital for an hour to repent.

It can. Just because capitalism has made it impossible in that system doesn't mean its the ONLY system. Fight back, vote for people who will support you, or run as one of those people. This isnt the normal state of humanity. We are being owned by slavers.

It's also kind of a dumb meme because relating farm animals to the working class and farmers to the owner class seems to reinforce, rather than challenge, the idea that capitalism is natural. And it implies that the working class is too small-minded to manage the means of production, because of course the idea of a donkey running a farm is absurd.
It honestly smells kinda trollish in that regard.

That's a nice perspective, I like it a lot!

Yeah, seems like a took a hit too for some reason, I don't imagine there's much to reason about

Well, by owning the farm.
I like working in food service, but you couldn’t pay me enough to own a restaurant or bakery. The donkey doesn’t choose to work there, nor is it compensated, so this isn’t applicable in this case, but my ideal situation would be working super hard thirty hours a week and earning enough to live comfortably off, while taking occasional vacations. That’s unfortunately not really possible, so I’m getting a masters degree instead of trying for management.

Thanks boss! Can I lick the toilet bowl clean now?
