Isn't it suspected that various intelligence agencies run a high percentage of the exit nodes and thus can, at the bare minimum, do some pretty sophisticated traffic analysis, if not outright intercept whatever traffic they want?

They do. It also requires control of both ends of the connection, something that not even the NSA can do (at least, not quietly. The couple times they did, the whole world noticed and started asking questions like "why is all internet traffic suddenly going through Iceland". Hacker team l0pht warned about this weakness of internet routing in their historic testimony to Congress 20 years ago and it still hasn't been fixed)

almost assuredly yes. its absolutely trivial to set up exit nodes and with proper saturation level the level of security afforded to tor users is pretty much placebo

To be fair, even if they can't read the messages directly, there is a lot of useful information to be gleaned just from the traffic itself.

When the FBI took down one of the Silk Road successor sites, they were able to link the admin to the site pretty conclusively using the fact that Tor traffic was occurring at locations the suspect was staying and that the session times corresponded exactly with times that the site admin was logged on. They couldn't see exactly what he was doing, but Tor traffic is rare enough in and of itself that a correlation like that is possible.

Sorry if I came off too strong, it's just that no security is perfect, and it's all a matter of knowing who you're defending from and the security/convenience/effort tradeoffs you'll accept. Your fed buddies aren't wrong, but like all technically "defeated" security software tools, Tor is simply the new baseline (i.e. not using it makes you much, much unsafer than using it in a potentially hostile network)

Yes, but see, they didn't use a global panopticon to do the correlation: they already had access to the server, and they already had a suspect. For a counterexample, they had no luck at all catching a pedophile ring that uses Tor to connect to a common dead drop (a Usenet newsgroup, specifically) to exchange messages and child porn, because they have no idea where to wiretap. The only guys they caught used commercial VPNs (which can be subpoenaed for customer data, and will usually comply even internationally because no place in the world is safe for pedophiles) instead of the recommended Tor, or were identified through painstaking traditional detective work, like cross-referencing a particular brand and model of bedsheets with a particular brand of mass-produced painting visible in the background of photos to identify the motel room, or paying visits to all car dealers in the state until they found one who could identify the make and model of a car from its interior (an orange Pontiac Aztec lol)

It's been at least twenty five years since I last picked up one so I don't remember them all as I once did but it wouldn't surprise me a bit. I mean sure, I get that in fantasy novels aimed at kids you're not necessarily going to get the most nuanced depiction of antagonists (or protagonists, for that matter), but there was a serious undercurrent of "treacherous untermenschen jealously trying to tear down the society built by the noble Aryan-mice" in those books.

oh yeah i remember that. basically any creatures that are carnivorous in real life are considered evil. well except that's not even true because otters and badgers are carnivorous and i'm sure mice will eat bugs and stuff too. i think moles eat worms and insects too. so i guess it's actually just arbitrary

but yeah goodness/badness and even personality traits were strictly defined by species and therefore genetics, which is pretty problematic

That - wow.

People like him and Trump are like the complete opposite of my Dad. He became of age when the Vietnam war was just starting up. He decided that it'd be a good path after high school, and his father proudly served, so he tried to enlist in the Air Force. The Air Force took one look at this literal 98 lb weakling (Dad was superthin), found his flat feet, and he got a permanent medical deferment.

Then the Draft kicked in. He spent the Vietnam years in SF, hanging out with the Grateful Dead.
