Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.

Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.

You should watch the movie Ants, it's an amazing example of why this line of reasoning doesn't hold water.

How many wars the US has won since WWII?

In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.

Don't have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side

Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.

Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)
