I do not fully agree with this point, but this pig got to be Jeffrey DaHAMer or HAMnibal Lecter

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer
- Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).
  
  A pig wearing a shirt and tie, but no pants.
Why is the pig a cannibal
- It's human meat.
  
  Its just a long pig
  
  Understandable, have a great day.
- Capitalism makes cannibals of us all. 😔
  
  Need entrepreneurial animal farm with a French guillotine twist
Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?
- I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story
  
  I think you could read it to children.
  
  My school had me read it when I was a kid.
- But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job
  That is the hard ppart
- Being billionaire is not a job.
Does a muppet count?
Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?
- It's allll beef, no pig :)
+
Edit: huh, the '+' did do what i intended but didn't believe it would work.
- You can't convince me the pig in the third pic isn't Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.
Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.
- The Busy World of Richard Scarry
  
  Thanks!

Ah, the pig is preparing soylent oligarch-green, a most sustainable job, I applaud you, pig.
A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!
Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.
I could see a dressed up og sitting in front of a computer. That's like the rest of the jobs
How am I supposed to imagine a clothed pig splicing fiber cables or setting up a rack full of communications equipment with fiber patches. They don't even have opposable thumbs, how can they unplug an LC plug with its retention clip?
If my job isn't real I'm taking the internet down with me, then he can read his hand drawn memes to his neighbor.
Brendan Fraser Crane is an interesting handle
If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
Pig in a cute sweater planing war crimes.
- This looks nice.
Don't worry guys, it's human meat so it's not weird.
What about Police? :O
- The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.
- Already pigs.
Every online career be like:
I dare you to find a job that can't be portrayed like that.
Hacker Pig? sure!
Neo matrix Pig? Sure
Politician? Almost indistinguishable
Holywood Director Pig? Nearly by default
Slaughterhouse Pig... NGL, that hits different, but still, I can see that.
3rd candidate pun:
Oink-oborous
There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.
Richard Scarry to the rescue
The Hogner Party
The Hogentinian Soccer Team
This makes me feel sad about my job, but i upvote anyway
