> Using terror laws to go after a climate activist is peak authoritarian for western democracies so far. It wasn't too long ago that Eco-terrorism was a thing that resulted in people's homes being burned down. I have a family member who got injured as a result of somebody digging holes in a fairly remote grass air strip. I'm sure somebody would describe the guy with a post hole digger as a heroic "climate activist". This situation doesn't appear to be that, but that might provide a little good faith context for why law enforcement would be interested in going after the likes of ELF.
