White Feather Campaign

The White Feather Campaign was a prominent enlistment campaign and shaming ritual in Britain during the First World War, in which women gave white feathers to non-enlisting men, symbolising cowardice and shaming them into signing up.

The giving “white feathers” to folks who did not deserve them reminds me of the anti-ICE crazies in MN—so driven by virtue signaling zealotry that they can easily be fooled into attacking innocent or wrong targets.
