        1980’s? Yes.

        2000’s? No. Full of politics. Government waste, spies, Area 51 coverups, discussions of the deep state and military use in civilian areas. One of the movies referenced wars in the middle east.

          1980s had political themes. Even the basic premise was a civil war between authoritarians and rebels fleeing a world ravaged by industrial over exploitation.

          And one of the 80s episodes referenced the Cuban Missile Crisis as the US and USSR almost went to war over a missing jet.

          Mind you it was a kids show from the 89s designed to sell toys, but it had some politics. Everything is ultimately politics, you can’t avoid it.
