I'd argue that if your sci-fi isn't pushing boundaries with that sorta stuff, it's not doing its job.

PS: Buenos Aires was an inside job

THANK YOU!

My dad is definitely the type to think Starship Trooper was a cool pro-military movie, but surprisingly he gets that it's satire and mocking his former job.

However, he still upholds that the BUGS somehow managed to launch an attack against earth, somehow either aiming at a populated area or getting EXTREMELY lucky, from ACROSS THE GALAXY

Nah it was 100% an inside job.

I mean, zero issues with anyone creating any show to express any narratives. But sci Fi doesn't NEED to address social issues to be interesting. It doesn't need to be allegorical or anything else to do it's job.

That said much of the best sci Fi certainly does.
