Default Is there ANYWAY that I allow my self to stay in this tournament?

I pick up QQ in the SB with 27 players left and the Tournament Big Stack who has just arrived at the table and playing his first hand raises a modest 3xBB. Its folded to me in the SB and my first thought was "Well I'll show him he's not gonna push this table around" and I shove all in. You can see the results below.

My question to anyone who would like to respond: What is your thought process here and what do you think the best way to proceed with this hand is after his 3xBB raise while sitting in the SB and it's folded to you?

27 Players left/ Your 2nd in chips at your table / Your M is at 11 ( but you still hold a very respectable amount of chips compared to the Avg. Chip Stack )

Well, you can call and go broke on the flop instead. Seriously, you're not folding, you're only thought should be getting value, pushing seems like the way ahead so long as he's calling with JJ+, AK and raising a wider range. He's not going to fold KK-AA so there doesn't seem any point in raising short of a push as you'll be committed anyway.

A lot of weird stuff has to happen in this hand for me to avoid losing all my chips.

My thought process is that he just showed up to the table, with the chiplead, and is looking to bully. Easy shove for me.
