A very jovial discussion of systems that have killed millions of innocent people. Maybe you could do the same treatment of Nazi gas chambers or something for the next video?

Weird link to gas chambers.. Do you think 'genocides' will go down if we bring first world militaries to third world standards?
I think Israel would find it harder to kill children, yes. In my view a good thing.
Technology is not evil, the people wielding it are. It's a little disingenuous and dare I say insensitive to make this analogy.
Disingenuous is making a bald statement like that about a very long and involved debate in philosophy. Suggest you read around the subject a bit first before making such haughty comments... Could start here:
