> Against national-level intelligence agency, "citizen scores", and whistleblowers employed within such agencies, the protection granted by tor may be very far from 100%. It is not recommended by anyone to depend on tor against that threat model.

Are there any alternatives then, that do work against this threat model? It seems like a lot of the real need for such a tool is for journalists and activists who do need protection against national-level threat actors.

I think you misunderstand. For such adversaries, Tor is good enough for what it does, but not sufficient. You probably want something like TAILS as part of a whole package of serious real-world OpSec.
