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!
