Netizens dug into the activist’s personal life after he started a debate about ableism on social media. Ana Mardoll is largely known for his opinions on writing and social justice online. He began trending on Twitter after he claimed that it was ableist to suggest that one must read intensively to become a good writer. Netizens slammed the online personality, who identifies as a “nonbinary trans boy,” for being too “leftist.” As Ana Mardoll continued to be attacked online, internet users disclosed that the activist worked at Lockheed Martin. It is a large defense corporation that has allegedly played a role in the United States’ war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Reddit user parsleybutter also claimed that the organization has been involved in the occupation of Palestine. Some internet users even claimed that the company has terrorized Yemen. According to Lockheed Martin’s official website, they mostly work with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. federal government agencies. Netizens were enraged with Mardoll for working with the defense contractor that was deemed online to be pro-war. روني الدنماركي@AldanimarkiIt was a 500-pound laser-guided bomb developed by Lockheed Martin that maimed over 50 defenseless school children in the 2018 Dahyan massacre in Yemen.

However, a Twitter user posted a screenshot of Ana Mardoll justifying working for the organization. Mardoll revealed: “I got this particular job because my family works for the same corporation. I stay because I’m on an unusual arrangement for medical reasons. It’s hard to find a remote WFH job that will give me medical insurance but let me work 10-20 hours a week.” Brendon Zatirka@BrendonZatirkahey question, why won’t you name Lockheed Martin? is it because it’s one of the largest defense contractors that provides arms to Is/[email protected] and played a role in American imperial reaches in both Iraq and Afghanistan?
