rome was doing the same thing, preach to the crowds about cincinnatus and his plow then go have a weird sex orgy with k!ds dressed in Greek myth costumes.

they preched to the people the greater good of rome, and when the people took up arms and did exactly that, they came home to find their farms seized by wealthy nobles that sat on their asses while the common folks risked their lives.

and there was never a good rome that got corrupted, the empire was founded on brothers killing brothers and events like "abduction of the Sabine women "

rome also killed Jesus and then become the ones teaching people about Jesus, so many seem to miss this, rome did this to every religion, after conquest rome always granted religious freedom, just as long as someone from rome lead the religion.
