Your assertion is that it's dumb to compare two competing financial systems?
The dumb analysis is to talk about Bitcoin energy usage in isolation, without comparing it to the present system. The present system would not work without police officers and military. Bitcoin replaces these things with servers and decentralization.
There is no military protecting the internet. You would need to bomb every country in the world to destroy the internet. The same is true for Bitcoin.
US military is 100% necessary for the dollar-based world order. The fact they do other things is not important. You still need the full US military to protect the dollar, even if they didn't do other things.
