You are right, don't listen to anyone else! A government can use Nostrudel, see every relay you are talking to and IP Block it. If websites can easily block tor because they provide all of the IP's on the Tor website, they can block Tor too
That's not how governments act. They let you connect, create a log of 100 of us, go to their homes in the middle of the night, arrest you in front of your family, call all TV stations, radios, even live stream your trial and do as much advertising as possible and scare as many people as possible. That's how they do it. And it works.
