By “chaos” do you mean conflict,
Or simply unordered interaction, like bees in a hive?
There is a difference.

If you mean conflict (since the title of this thread says, “destruction”) then you need to remember that conflict requires disagreement between two or more.

So, is Tantra a source of disagreement and conflict?
I don’t think so.
But if you keep your roommates up at night playing bells, drums, and cymbals, that might stir up some problems.
EMPTIFUL.
An inward outlook produces outward insight.

no.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

What kind of question is that anyway?
1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)

It's a question posed by angst.

I think, the answers are sufficient. Topic locked.
