I believe the best definition is "Not Liberal or Libertarian".

That would make communists and anarchists conservative.
Conservatives, as a general rule, are in favor of some sort of belief system playing a major role in society. This is usually religion, but it doesn't have to be, as long as it's in place in a society.
Most conservatives support some sort of hierarchy being in place. Not necessarily a formal hierarchy, but definitely an awareness of and respect for authority, at the very least.
Conservatives also favor either gradual change or no change at all. That's why they're called that. At the bare minimum, conservatives are going to want significant evidence that something doesn't work before being willing to change it. They can range from this all the way to the belief that it's better to live with today's problems than risk the problems of the future.
Texas nationalist, 3rd positionist, radical social conservative, post-liberal.

There used to be some vocal oppositionaries but from what I see they are now mostly ex-nations. On foreign policy NSG is pro-EUropean and in favour of all intervention wars and coups started by B. Hussein Obama.

NSG, like all forums, goes through phases. It used to be in a more conservative phase, and it was once more liberal than it was now. During both of those phases mods banned people much more often, and the constant banning shifted the forum's overall ideology.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a genuine workers' state in which all the people are completely liberated from exploitation and oppression. The workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals are the true masters of their destiny and are in a unique position to defend their interests.

Does /pol/ count as Social Internet?


Yes. Which is exactly why it's flooded with liberals and left wingers.

I assume Stormfront would fall into this left wing category of Social Internet as well.
