air of ‘i’m special’

risk to the standing power structure

These two ideas are arguably very similar. Claiming religious or political standing is both claiming an air of uniqueness and a threat to the status quo, and to my understanding this guy was doing both. ☺️

The argument made is that the Romans saw no threat. The Romans didn’t give a fuck about the religious part. As far as they were concerned he was no threat.

That’s how the story goes at least, a story rewritten over and over by Romans so why would they make themselves look bad?

I think you’re misunderstanding a bit what I mean.

The Roman people have every reason to change the narrative to make it the others who killed him.
