I do. Via reconciliation first or force of necessary.

How force you have 🙂
If someone tries to hurt me or my loved ones or take my stuff, I'm usually armed and will end the threat with extreme prejudice.
If they come one by one and armed with sticks you're gonna make it.
I'd rather die fighting to protect me and mine than live like a coward.
So the final answer to the Q would be: not you.
I disagree. You are ultimately responsible for yourself. Hopefully, you'll be around other people who also value freedom and self sufficiency and also cooperation for mutual benefit, but every adult human is responsible for themselves.
