A character is defeated by their own side's ideology or policies.
For instance, in a WW 2 story Alice is a Nazi spy who's just been caught by Bob. Bob threatens not to kill Alice but shoot her in the lower back (paralyzing her for life) and send her back to Nazi Germany where she'll be sent to those "re-education camps" he's heard about (or at least, it rhymes with "-ation camps"). Alice, who knows the fate her own side reserves for the crippled, spills everything she knows in exchange for imprisonment in the US.
