She wrote the book ''Incels: Geschichte, Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults'' (eng.: Incels: History, Language and Ideology of an internet cult) and is often portrayed as [[German incelosphere|Germany's "incel expert"]] by the German public media.<ref name="kulturzeit2">ZDFheute Nachrichten: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp-ZG7EfdiA ''Frauenhass und Terror: Was die „Incel“-Szene so gefährlich macht''], YouTube, 7 December 2020.</ref> She mostly writes and talks negatively about incels and sees most of them as misogynists and/or [[Alt-Right]]ists. She describes her political views as [[Feminist]], Communist and Anti-German.<ref name="paulina2">Paulina Stulin: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZCjwMx2hwg ''Podcast: Pingpong mit Pauli #22 – Veronika''], YouTube, 14 May 2020.</ref> She is also an ardent [[SJW]].

She is in a relationship.<ref>Kracher, ''Incels'', p. 275.</ref> Her [[Antifa]] partner shares her political views, calling incels a "right-wing" movement.<ref name="fb-dm">[https://www.facebook.com/Bomberdomme/posts/3523433101073406 Facebook post from 14 November 2020 by him].</ref>

== Proponent of violence ==

In January 2019, she openly welcomed a violent attack against the right-wing politican Frank Magnitz (AfD), who got so severely beaten by the attackers that he had to be hospitalized.<ref name="telepolis">Peter Nowak: [https://www.heise.de/tp/features/Gewalt-gegen-rechts-und-Twitterradikalitaet-4272645.html?seite=all ''Gewalt gegen rechts und Twitterradikalität''], Telepolis, 12 January 2019.</ref> On Twitter, she called this the "consistent implementation of #NazisOut"<ref name="telepolis"></ref> (although Magnitz’s wife is of Turkish origin).<ref name="focus">[https://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/frank-magnitz-er-war-frueher-bei-linker-partei-das-weiss-man-ueber-den-attackierten-afd-mann_id_10166843.html ''Er war früher bei linker Partei: Das weiß man über den attackierten AfD-Mann''], Focus, 10 January 2019.</ref> Because of this, Veronika Kracher received a lot of opposing messages and regarded herself as a victim.<ref name="fb">[https://www.facebook.com/285406372158360/posts/gab-man-vor-drei-tagen-noch-veronika-kracher-in-die-google-suchleiste-ein-erschi/285462965486034/ Facebook post from 11 January 2019 by Veronika Kracher].</ref>

In January 2020, she openly welcomed the assassination of Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani,<ref name="fb-2">[https://www.facebook.com/v.kracher/posts/3622395764468806 Facebook post from 3 January 2020 by Veronika Kracher].</ref> because of her strong pro-Israel stance.

== "Expert" ==

Despite her politically radical and mentally ill background, she is a frequent guest in the German [[Fakestreamer|mainstream media]] when it comes to incels. She says herself that this suprises her because her book is a communist paper and she would even be disappointed if people wouldn’t realize that.<ref name="rosa-luxemburg">Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Rheinland-Pfalz: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzL1M9hRKC0 ''INCELS: Geschichte, Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults. Buchpremiere mit Veronika Kracher.''], YouTube, 12 November 2020.</ref>

Ironically, she is also very hostile against an executive organ of the state which depicts her as "expert" via public TV: The police. In April 2021, she wrote on Facebook: "Fuck the city of Stuttgart, the state of BaWü [Baden-Württemberg], the police", because the police allowed a demonstration of COVID measure opponents there.<ref name="fb-fp">[https://www.facebook.com/v.kracher/posts/5558367047538325 Facebook post from 4 April 2021 by her].</ref> In January 2022, she wrote: "The police is an authoritarian and institutionally racist male society, from whose ranks racist violence is committed again and again and the perpetrators cover each other."<ref name="fb-maennerbund">[https://www.facebook.com/v.kracher/posts/7046937785347903 Facebook post from 7 January 2022 by her].</ref>

== Views on incels and men ==

She usually describes incels as right-wingers. Even [[Ethnicel]]s are considered as such by her, because they "internalized" white supremacy and "blatant racism" by adopting [[JBW]].<ref name="hasi">hasi: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM3QflFoDAM ''Veronika Kracher über Incels – Zur Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults''], YouTube, 27 September 2020.</ref><ref name="baf">Bildungsstätte Anne Frank: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hx1AWTqmI ''TuesdayTalk #19: "Incels" mit Veronika Kracher''], YouTube, 1 December 2020.</ref> In her book, she dedicates two pages to Germany’s most prominent self-identified incel and JBW advocate: [[Hamudi]].<ref>Kracher, ''Incels'', p. 202-203</ref> In a booklet published by the leftist, government funded Amadeu Antonio Foundation, in which Incels are linked to right-wing extremism, she even calls him a "German",<ref name="aas">Veronika Kracher: [https://www.amadeu-antonio-stiftung.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/FrauenhassOnline_Internet.pdf ''Frauenhassende Online-Subkulturen. Ideologien – Strategien – Handlungsempfehlungen''], Berlin 2021, p. 26.</ref> although Hamudi himself never said he is one, neither by ancestry nor by passport.

According to her, world affairs are governed by the oppression of the feminine by the masculine, which she calls "[[Machismo|Hegemonic masculinity]]", referring to transsexual Feminist Raewyn Connell.<ref name="ondreka">Lukas Ondreka: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGNUmRh7Rkw ''#78 "Incels sehen sich als Untermenschen, ihren Hass richten sie gegen Frauen" - Dissens''], YouTube, 24 June 2020.</ref> According to this mindset, men play a role similar to that of capitalists within Marxism while women are the proletariat, hence masculinity itself should be abolished. Men who don’t fit into the standards of "Hegemonic masculinity" are regarded as marginalized if they ally with Feminism.<ref name="ondreka"></ref> Incels, however, are not recognized as being marginalized but as accomplices of the "Patriarchy" because they don’t ally with Feminism.<ref name="ondreka"></ref> Incels therefore play a role within this mindset which is comparable to that of the [[Lumpenproletariat]] within Marxism. 

She frequently criticizes incels for not becoming feminists, since she regards Inceldom as being merely caused by "patriarchal" expectations towards men, like being able to have sex. Therefore, she even claims Feminism would liberate Incels from their suffering.<ref name="plymouth">Veronika Kracher: [https://www.belltower.news/incel-anschlag-in-plymouth-die-toedliche-ideologie-der-frauenhasser-120111/ ''Podcast: Incel-Anschlag in Plymouth: Die tödliche Ideologie der Frauenhasser''], Belltower.News, 19 August 2021.</ref> She does, however, not explain how this would solve the problem of loneliness experienced by Incels, making the extent of her ability to empathize with them questionable. Incels even managed to blackpill her on this, showing her that even men who are bullied because they lack masculinity don't turn into feminists.<ref name="rosa-luxemburg"></ref> She calls this circumstance a "double down", "grueling experience" and "bitter realization".<ref name="rosa-luxemburg"></ref> Because of the sparse success of this strategy, she also says she is tired of trying to convince men of becoming Feminists by showing them its alleged benefits for them.<ref name="baf"></ref> Instead, she expects men to support Feminism out of solidarity with Feminists now and considers to regard those who don't as "political enemy".<ref name="anschlaege.at">[https://anschlaege.at/die-ursache-des-ganzen-mists/ ''Die Ursache des ganzen Mists''], Interview with Veronika Kracher by Linda Peikert, anschlaege.at.</ref> Typical for a SJW, she also supports speech regulation against incel forums<ref name="anschlaege.at"></ref> and openly argues in favor of [[Cancel Culture]] against opinions that are different from hers: "Finally give me this Cultural Marxist opinion dictatorship that they all are always talking about."<ref name="fb-3">[https://www.facebook.com/v.kracher/posts/4929059200469116 Facebook post from 14 November 2020 by Veronika Kracher].</ref>

She believes that inceldom can be prevented if boys receive a Feminist education, e.g. [[Bluepill|being taught to express emotions and not be tough]].<ref name="hannover">Kritik und Subversion Hannover: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oscG7Cfer0A&list=FLFb1kmqOLoZFigSlx_UYVww ''Interview über Incels und toxische Männlichkeit - mit Veronika Kracher und Kritik & Subversion''], YouTube, 2 September 2020.</ref> She believes this would work, because she views sex roles as [[Social constructionism|socially constructed]] and rejects evolutionary psychlogy/biology. According to her, preference for [[Dominance hierarchy|alpha men]] among many women is not caused by biology but by education, since many women "internalized" "patriarchal perceptions".<ref name="47-48">Kracher, ''Incels'', p. 47-48</ref> Therefore, she explicitly opposes the [[Scientific Blackpill]]<ref name="47-48"></ref>  and views feminist theories as superior to natural science. She even compares evolutionary psychology/biology to National Socialism, since it also argued with biology.<ref name="168-169">Kracher, ''Incels'', p. 168-169.</ref> She also opposes [[Jordan Peterson]], whom she calls "kind of a pop star among these reactionary scientists".<ref name="168-169"></ref> However, she isn’t that consistent concerning her own views claiming its the "patriarchy" pressuring men when it comes to the emotions of [[Elliot Rodger]] within his manifesto, calling him a "whiny, narcissistic, spoiled snotty brat".<ref>Kracher, ''Incels'', p. 65.</ref>

== COVID-19  ==

She is also a radical [[COVID-19]] measure supporter. Therefore she supports Zero Covid, a campaign that wants to lower the COVID incidence to zero by shutting down the economy entirely.<ref name="heni">Clemens Heni: [https://www.clemensheni.net/tag/konkret/ ''“Bild der Frau”, der extrem rechte Naftalie Bennett und kommunistische Konkret-Autorinnen gemeinsam für den totalitären ZeroCovid Wahnsinn''], ClemensHeni.net, 5 February 2021.</ref> This goal is very unrealistic<ref>Anne Bäuerl: [https://www.aerztezeitung.de/Nachrichten/Zero-Covid-Strategie-Fast-aussichtslos-416357.html ''Die Null als Ziel. „Zero Covid“-Strategie: „Fast aussichtslos“''], Ärztezeitung, 19 January 2021.</ref> and the campaign is classified as left-wing to far-left extremist.<ref name="piper">Nikolaus Piper: [https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/zero-covid-lockdown-neuinfektionen-1.5181838 ''Kapitalismus-Kritik: „Zero Covid“ ist reines Wunschdenken''], Süddeutsche Zeitung, 22 January 2021.</ref>
