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.

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.
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

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

It's just a shame that even the party that has adopted the donkey as its symbol doesn't represent the workers at all – they don't seem to have any major objections to a fascist dictatorship under the rule of a rapist, which has even been confirmed by the dysfunctional legal system that the donkeys believe in so fervently. But hey, the donkey has to be paid, after all—even if it hasn't worked at all for decades.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party because it was founded for the presidential campaign of notorious slaver, genocider, and law ignorer Andrew Jackson on his way to crash the American economy during his single term in office.
Trump's favorite president (not a joke) was known primarily for being a stupid ass, thus the symbol.

Aren’t donkeys notoriously rebellious?
Yeah but they're bad at organizing

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.
