Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to demonstrate that the premonitory speeches of great 20th century authors like Ferdinand Céline are still current. The world is upset by conflicts of all kinds. No continent is spared as if man has definitively given up his humanism. He is becoming more and more fierce and makes uses a discourse fed by stereotypes and prejudices. We then witness what Celine calls “the great imbecility of humanity”. Community life has become utopian. Conflicts build and destroy identity and introduce otherness. Daily vocabulary is fed by new words such as terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, jihadists, and so on. To better understand the meaning of this otherness, we will attempt to analyze the conflictual or conciliatory discourses of certain leaders of the world that may be called "the great powers". Words thus generate evils. What meanings should be given to speeches? The work of the linguist will be to detect the miming and pejorative values in the political discourses. To do this, we will focus on identifying the discursive value of the statements made in recent years. We will try to browse the digital web as it feeds misunderstanding, conflicts, etc. The current wars with their procession of misfortunes develop and sharpen a climate of generalized psychosis which finds its respondent in a certain absurd vision of the world. Man is more than ever aware of the tragedy of his destiny because he is constantly torn between the monotony of everyday life and original purity. Present discourses express the major concerns of man from a certain ideological approach.
