what did this faggot mean by "rebel"? did he just arbitrarily cram the hero archetype into his absurd worldview and call it a day?

Who are you to judge what is and isn't arbitrary? Act as if something is holy, lo' it is!

It's not bad and all his books are really short. It's very accessible but if you're interested don't let that put you off. You could literally finish The Stranger in an hour to decide what you think.

He was specifically analyzing the mindset of violent people like terrorists, insurgents, and political extremists. Nechayev and Princip are rarely considered heroic.

I don't think absurdism means you have to accept your surroundings, it's more about never succumbing to defeat.

not very convincingly. Nagel is much better on absurdism and it only took him a dozen pages.
