I used to use window chalk on my truck to air my grievances for a few years, every week I'd update my windows. That led me to start up a sticker business online. I've only used my website and social media, no google or amazon. I decided last week to open an Etsy store and within 24hrs got my first take downs.

I'm sick and tired of being a second class citizen, I'm sick of this censorship and how companies can decide what is considered harmful content. I'm sick of the shadowbanning and deplatforming. I've been kicked off everything multiple times and have never retreated from the battlefield. I'm sick of big tech making the rules, and applying them unequally against our Constitution. I will not give up and I will never back down, because We Will Prevail NCSWIC.

The stickers are really simple and just had WWG1WGA on one and NCSWIC on the other.

Here's the ETSY response:
