Yeah, the intelligent thing is to surrender and give more power and money to the robber.
If people with weapons assault you in Somalia, give them millions of dollars and make it stronger, so they can kill more and assault more people.
If someone kidnaps someone of your family, give all the money you earned all your life to them, so they can buy more weapons, and kidnap more people, and make society better.
Your ego will boost as you acknowledge that you are not able to fight against other men under any circumstances, that you could always surrender and let them sodomize you if necessary.

How are you giving power to a robber?

If people with weapons assault you, your dead. I'm not sure why you're trying to link this situation to the political one in Somalia, they're quite different.

Tough talk, lets see what you'd do if your family got kidnapped for ransom.
By rewarding them with confidence and money, two of the most powerful factors in behavioral conditioning.

They are the same. Coastal Somalia's de facto government is barbarian raiders, funded entirely by people who choose to pay millions for appeasement but not one penny for defense. Hopefully the problem can be solved by arming the merchant fleets with modern weapons (now being tried), otherwise the standard solution will be needed: plow the coastal towns under as fertilizer.
Well organized, well armed Somali pirates hijacking commercial vessels does not equal a guy with a knife robbing you.
Did you know the pirates actually have a code of ethics (ironic as that may sound)? Why have they never raped or killed any of their hostages? Because all they want is money. Pay up, and the hostages get let go. Thats how their operation works.
Don't even try to compare that to a back alley robbery.
I remember when I used to think like you. Then I got robbed. I am really glad that such silly thoughts about pride and principle did not enter my head as a gun was being held to it... if they had, it seems likely I would not be here to type this today.
It's easy to stand on your soapbox in an online forum. Let's see how you fare in the moment of truth. I hope for your sake you act smart and live to see another day.
