"You get a choice between bitcoin mining and military force"

That was literally a quote from the post being responded to.

Not sure what you are going for here. Indeed, reading a single sentence without considering context typically leads one to faulty conclusions. Note that the previous sentence in the parent post is "Consensus (probably, I am doubtful of PoS) isn't free."
'You get a choice between bitcoin mining and military force' to solve the consensus issue.

Bitcoin doesn't solve, for example, hate crimes or something like this.

Yes it is truly amazing how bad people are at reading and how fast they are at reaching (bad) conclusions from they already bad read.
