where does one start with Sloterdjik?

I would be interested in that too.

Is Sloterdijk really a conservative? I want to read conservatives.

First off, cut his moustache.
Then he needs to lose some weight. Feed him lettuce and carrots for at least one week.
Get some decent clothes that don't shout GDR. You may also want to slightly change his name too. Umlaut is mandatory, Slöterdeck or something.
Good luck OP

"You must Change Your Life" if you have a decent background in philosophy. It's interesting and highly readable.

Then read his "spheres" trilogy if you are up for an insightful though sometimes meandering metaphysics of space.

If your into irony or some shit read the critique of cynical reason.

All of his books are long and sometimes require perseverance, he likes to go on about art history, and sometimes it is difficult to see what the point is. If you can last though he manages to delightfully pull things together. An interesting and highly insightful figure in general.

Calling Sloterdijk a conservative is like calling Spartacus a socialist.

Rage and Time is also good and sheds some light on Nietzsche's views and sources. It has some fukuyamaism that Sloterdijk might not agree with anymore (Fukuyama certainly doesn't nowadays) in it, but overall it is very readable and insightful regardless of your political leanings. There's a reason why Zizek likes him despite their obvious differences, even oppositions, concerning politics and psychoanalysis.

name similar edgy contemporary philosophers:

His best work is clearly his spheres trilogy.

I remember that he called himself a "conservative leftist" in an interview or smth.

Fun fact: He recently wrote an article in a German newspaper where he stated that the Americans have "a special way to get rid of presidents without having to wait 4 years", pretty much hinting at a possible assassination.
