My biggest criticism of modern America (and elsewhere) is that individualism coupled with the internet has made many forget that you still live in local communities. You're not hoarding from unknown "others" you are hoarding it from the people around you. But it's hard to tell as society has become so disconnected, you can hardly blame people for not making the connection. That "me versus you all, me first you last" mentality IS totally rational in that context, but it is still detrimental to your community and you have to be comfortable making that choice. My advice is to take enough not too much, there is a difference between hoarding and being supplied and it's pretty obvious when someone is hoarding.
