That means no driving, no meat consumption, no use of any electrical energy generated by fossil fuels, no wood burning stoves, no plastics, no land ownership...ect

To not be a "selfish ass" is not possible if you are alive, and suicide (or indeed death by any other action) is also selfish by the emotional harm to to others; to not be selfish is incompatible with having existed.

I think this is an example of inconsistent norms: my norm about being selfish is a literal application of tangible harm to others, your's (I can only conclude) is by harm that you, the causer of the harm, cannot avoid seeing.

Edit:Of course my assumption of how your norm is applied is then, in all likelihood, again due to sets of norms.Does that make any sense at all, or am I completely incoherent?
