"taking a sport of petty revenge on reality"

Well, that's one of the best, distilled little revelations of what autocrats tend to do that I've seen. Not just looking over their shoulders and smirking at us while knowingly and consciously working to skew reality to suit their aims, but attempting to squash reality itself when it doesn't fit.

Love your whole analysis here. Smile
