@blaue_Fledermaus @mekkaokereke So if the Roman did use the right hand in order to dole out abuse, that would mean the Roman was acknowledging the Jew as an equal.
It was all a metaphor for standing up against empire and not allowing the bastards to get you down. Jesus was encouraging his Jewish followers to engage in malicious compliance as part of resistance against being treated as subhuman. This was rebellion and a demand for the institution of human rights.
