To the environmentalist who is ruled by his emotions.
And there I was thinking that the consumptionist was the only one ruled by their emotions

One does not preclude the other.
Denial is a state fueled by fear.
It'll all sort itself out in the future water wars. The US will annex Canada, Canada will offer no resistance as it's seen the carnage between China and Russia already when China made its move for Siberia.
Oh yeah and Germany will absorb Sweden as the swedes vote to disolve the own nation.

...Everyone acts in his own self interest, and punishing someone for doing so is lunacy (or communism - same thing). I put my financial (and general) well-being above yours because I don't know you from Adam - does that make me evil? Should I criticize my neighbor because he puts the welfare of his 3-year-old son above mine?
We already have umpteen-bazillion laws and regulations covering every aspect of our lives and livelihoods. We need less, not more. Please note that less <> none.
No, it's called law and order, it's been around since the dawn of civilization where the society put the good of the many before the good of the few and punished overly self-invested members of the collective. Nothing you can pin on communism and where capitalism has failed, letting egomanics run amock unchecked.
Do refrain from using petty micro examples to illustrate something on a macro level where this has little bearing.

Do refrain from being deliberately dense. Communism has failed every time it has been tried. I realize that doesn't stop people from trying but humans have a sad propensity to 1) forget the past and 2) believe that if only THEY were in charge we'd get it right this time.
It is oh so easy to create tyranny under the doctrine of "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." All very well until its YOU who happen to be one of the few.
Most people defer from acting on their most base of instincts just fine in the interest of the greater good.
