Chaotic Good: Do good and what they think is right at any cost. Fuck the laws and red tape if they get in the way.

your definitions are overall a bit too simple but this is one that no one else has commented on so far. what you're describing here is honestly closer to neutral than chaotic. a neutral character might obey the laws or they might not. a chaotic character is actively opposed to the idea of the laws and will seek to circumvent them. that is a core component of chaotic characters that is often overlooked because people simplify it down to just being random.

in order to be chaotic you must be actively opposed to the rule of law and order. at the very least, mistrust and dislike of arbitrary rule and codes has to be a core component of your personality. it's not just "if the red tape gets in my way I won't follow it." the chaotic good character sees the red tape itself as a problem, and your idea of good would be to tear down the establishment that is putting up all this red tape everywhere. even if you're not always acting on it that should be your way of thinking.

although, end of the day, the main difference between chaotic good and chaotic evil is how far they go. both of them are going to think they are doing the right thing. but depending on how many people get hurt along the way you can very quickly become evil. to go back to thanos; if you genocide half of the population in order to further your ideals you are certainly evil.
