This is a story that I think resonates with today. Wang Mang gains overwhelming power by virtue signaling Confucianism, and then spends his reign as emperor destroying the country trying to implement his half baked ideology. His bad economic policies and insane farming policies ultimately led to 10 million deaths and when the remaining Han dynasty led an uprising, the people of the capital happily helped oust the ideologue.
