Books about short vs long term policies and stuff?
For example:
- feeding starving 3rd worlders vs leaving them alone
- prioritizing ones own society vs the entire world
- emotional vs rational argumentation
- actual long term political/societal goals (these are often implied by politicians with vague concepts, but rarely made clear)

I'm more interested in older classics, but newer books are OK too, as long as they're decent.

Charity organizations against third world starvation are a crime against humanity. Yeah, just make them outbreed themselves making their survival completely dependent on foreign aid and making the famine worse with even more African children suffering as a result. What a great fucking idea... if you really hate niggers.

Didn't say there was. That's just throwing money down the drain. Anything that makes their survival easier is inherently evil because it allows them to sustain a larger family, meaning more offspring to consume more resources for the next even poorer generation.
If we let the Africans alone for a century they'd return to peaceful tribal life after killing are the whites in their lands and the world would be a better place again.

That third one is a bit out of place. The first two were dealing with domestic problems vs international problems and then the third is a broad topic of rationality.

The problem is: it is we who drain resources from Africa.

While this is being achieved we need to make sure to keep feeding them and giving them medicine etc so their population multiplies. Let’s make sure not to just cull them off forever so the world can move forward...

If every adult male in the US suddenly decided to stop working and to act like an impulsive, violent child, the US would be back to huts and cows soon enough. You don’t need to invoke some kind of all-pervading racist conspiracy to explain why nothing runs properly in a country operated mainly by lazy, entitled, disorganized men.
