Isn't this chaotic?

Is the government causing war?

This reminds me of the saying "Birds of a feather". We become what/like the people we hang around.

lack of self confidence

In this paragraph I think Hobbes is trying to say that some people are better than others but we are still equal

Society definitely painted men this way and it is something we have to unlearn as time goes on

‘I believe because it is absurd’

I think here Freud misinterpreted the love thy neighbor commandment. He’s looking at more of a face value and not deeper into the phrase.

So does this mean there’s no true love that exist outside the libidinal means?

Not much to say here besides this is a great point and is true

Means to mention one by one

I do think humans are to blame for a lot of our own suffering. We got in too deep thinking that we are different from other animals. Or better than which essentially led to our own civilizations not being what we founded them to be.

I think this line is important because in today’s world, we know that removing all suffering and oppression is a hard task, but here we see that we can mitigate some and remove some. Then it goes on to talk about our attitude towards suffering

Commenting on the violence section: In my opinion it is hard as a Black American to always feel safe if I were to get pulled over by the police. Sometimes you just want to make sure you aren’t saying the wrong thing or showing threatening body language. It’s almost hard to show confidence when pulled over because you don’t want to come off as arrogant. In my opinion it just feels like you have to sort of walk on egg shells when it comes to law enforcement and people in positions of power.

I agree with this observation. Groups and communities are constantly intersecting. No person is exclusive to one type of social group due to intersectionality ie. sex and race. This can be most viewed and depicted with the social responses to social issues such as sexism, racism, homophobia, etc, which tends to target one type of group but is protested against by individuals across several other groups.
