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> | 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.

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 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 socially constructed and rejects evolutionary psychlogy/biology. According to her, the 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, 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"></ref> She also opposes [[Jordan Peterson]], whom she calls "kind of a pop star among these reactionary scientists".<ref name="168-169">Kracher, p. 47-48.</ref> However, she isn’t that consistent concerning her own views when it comes to the emotions of [[Elliot Rodger]] within his manifesto, calling him a "whiny, narcissistic, spoiled snotty brat".<ref>Kracher, p. 65.</ref> | ||
She is in a relationship.<ref>Kracher, p. 275.</ref> Her [[Antifa]] partner shares her political views, calling Incels a "right-wing" movement. | |||
