The Ana Mardoll Lockheed Martin controversy refers to the viral 2022 revelation that popular Twitter activist and author Ana Mardoll was a long-time contract employee for the defense giant Lockheed Martin. Known for outspoken leftist views and critiques of systemic oppression, Mardoll’s affiliation with a major arms manufacturer sparked intense debate over corporate hypocrisy and the 'activist-to-defense-contractor' pipeline. The meme typically highlights the cognitive dissonance between social justice advocacy and working for the military-industrial complex, often using screenshots of past tweets contrasted with the Lockheed Martin logo or corporate terminology.
