Decorative nooses have always been a weird thing IMO. Like “gee, id like a dangling piece of fabric that, if it gets caught on something, chokes me and may pull me face first into heavy machinery”
Back in the day, people generally had fewer shirts and they were typically the same color, usually white. A tie was developed as a way to have a bit of varying color for a suit without needing as much fabric.
I get your point, I use pocket squares to accessorize but to each their own. My mental association of ties revolves around IBM staff (and similar) being forced to wear ties for no reason other than “management decision”. For me the only thing I can think of when I see a tie is the leash of the wealthy class.
Feels like you could say the same about any clothing/jewellery other than the bare essentials, but maybe Lemmy is the wrong audience for fashion (fuck being forced to wear ties, obviously)

I never understood why anyone would want to wear a tie. It’s a capitalist noose and at the same time also so unnecessarily dangerous.

Because I never truly need to wear one and I like the patterns and style of the ties I own? What kind of question is this?
People just like to accessorize. Not everything is that deep lol

Then you are upholding this system of capitalist oppression through participation.
Well, you don’t wear them around heavy machinery. Unless court and similar settings are heavy machinery in the figurative sense.
Elevators are pretty heavy.
But idk, maybe you’re like, extremely buff
They come from a time when heavy machinery didn’t exist. They’re descended from fancy scarves.
I, for one, am a fan of bringing back the ascot. (but perhaps not during the height of the summer months.)
