Many a man is nihilistic in such a form, amongst others; I don't see how it's a joke to be one, or, more importantly, to be concerned that other people are offended by it.
Do they teach the novel in the public school system? I'd figure the principles are far too un-American and irreligious to introduce into a classroom setting. I know that those of the year 2011 in my universe wouldn't dare show such intellectual smut like that to poor, impressionable adolescents.
More like acceptance of being-but-a-speck-of-dust-in-the-scope-of-the-universe. The protagonist learned that it doesn't matter if he doesn't give ten damns about himself or others, that only the passing physical sensations of life are truly notable, while all else means absolutely nothing. I think it's fitting.
For many people, in this particular situation. And you. Why should our actions here matter? Why should we invest ourselves emotionally for something that could potentially not mean anything at all? Is it worth pretending or deluding ourselves that this, this time and this place, is actual truth?
I don't subscribe to it, but I understand the logic behind it.

I thought you were secretly going all L’Étranger, which probably isn't too good for the psyche, all considering.

The murder, after all, was really the least important thing to happen to the protagonist.

So what was the acceptance for? Death?
