Anti-civ is just an extension of anti-authority / anti-state thinking. Civilisations are state-forms with an in-built growth tendency rooted in alienation (from our resources and our waste). As something growth-tending it's also inherently colonial. Anti-civ thinking is mostly just the critique of authority in this context, towards bringing about actually sustainable (i.e. not growth-tending) modes of existence, outside of authority. Also it seems reified binary gender and civilisation go hand in hand, so there's another reason to get rid of it.
