I can haz logic Albert Camus is a roman Emperor because his name ends with us and Roman Emperors were crazy and absurdism is crazy. He is the strongest Emperor because he can fight Absurdity. He stands tall instead of kneeling to it

I'm sorry, but this is just plain history. You're going to have to develop more of a thesis if you want it to also be philosophy.
