I used to term hobbyist to merely imply that I am not working in that field. You are right to assume my knowledge in spying is close to null (comparatively to an agent) though and I agree with that but if you think professional spies have some higher class of knowledge regarding operational security innacessible to the public you are wrong. The only things that make them more efficient is time and money.

Now, if you actually invested some time in this so called russian hacking you'll find that it fits your ideas. The evidence presented by the federal bureau is inconclusive and in no way an artefact of "probably the best spies in the world", more like "the worst spies in the world" that wrote a banned book called "How to be a russian hacker and have everyone know you are a russian hacker"

Well,I agree with what you say. Sorry if my original post did not convey much thanks to the manner in which I post when my expectations regarding a piece of media are not met. Overall, I was dissapointed by their dialogue due to it's poor quality because these two individuals seem to be somewhat respected thinkers on the internet.

Now I would like to extend a little on the russian hacking part. I am not living in the United States and I have not been implicated politically except for reading online various material on the election. I do not deny there is a connection between Trump and Russia in whatever manner it is presented today. I simply deny the event known as the "russian hacking" because I kept a close eye on it when it all started in order to satisfy my opsec hobbyist needs and I loath the fact that people just accept it so easely and at the same time I'm afraid I'm certainly doing the same with other things and I'm unaware.

trust me, I'm a random hypno..sorry hobbyist

trust me I'm a hypnotist

no but I know how trump actually thinks

I predicted everything

you see the russian hacking

worst anime this fucking season, I can't believe I wasted more than an hour on this. How the russian hacking narrative didn't completly implode when the fbi published their paper which basically assumed everything and showed nothing completly baffles me.

but trumpkin dear, trump is in bed with putin and two korean twinks

Yes, but there's no russian hacking, the dnc are just technologically retarded sofas.

Yes but sadly there isn't a rar adjent community for everything, maybe in the form of rat fiction but still I kinda want to know what other people here visit because I'm interested.

A description of your selection heuristics would be good for those who are considering this.
