What does the weakened state of captives do to reduce their capacity to collectively resist adversary exploitation efforts?

The weakened state of captives significantly diminishes their physical and psychological resilience, making them more susceptible to manipulation and coercion.

As individuals become more focused on immediate survival and coping, their capacity to resist adversary exploitation is further undermined, allowing exploiters to more easily achieve their objectives.
