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.

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.

How many wars the US has won since WWII?

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

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 ;)

That doesn’t always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.
The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed, the official number for the Gwangju uprising for instance is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn’t include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.
