I interpret it as an infantile reaction to when events don't go your way. A classic example here in the UK is Boris Johnson's reaction to the just released "Partygate" report. A mature reaction to criticism would be to either dispute it if it's inaccurate or to acknowledge your own shortcomings otherwise. His reaction is more akin to a tantrum though that could be related to his narcissism.
Nowadays, I'm thinking that a lot of modern politics are becoming like a scene from Lord of the Flies.
