She wrote the book ''Incels: Geschichte, Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults'' and is portrayed as [[German incelosphere|Germany's "Incel Expert"]] by the German public TV<ref name="kulturzeit">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 writes and talks mostly negative 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="paulina">Paulina Stulin: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZCjwMx2hwg ''Podcast: Pingpong mit Pauli #22 – Veronika''], YouTube, 14 May 2020.</ref> | ||
She was born in Munich and has a brother.

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 put to hospital.<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> | |||
Despite her politically radical 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.

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> | |||
According to her, world affairs are governed by the oppression of the feminine by the masculine, which she calls "[[Machismo|Hegemonic masculinity]]", referring to 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 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 criticises Incels for not becoming Feminists. 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> | |||
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> | |||
