Is the neck tie and invention by the masons?
I recently came across a few photos of initiate masons with a noose around their necks. I have also read a few articles about how the neck tie was an invention by the masons to show that all men are slaves to their order. Do you guys think there is any validity to this?

Funny you mention it, I've found myself thinking about this. Gotta get that sweet corporate job, wear the noose, impress your friends.

Ties are stupid, and so are suits. Who the fuck thought being uncomfortable while you work was a good idea?

Oh that's right - people with nothing to offer but their fancy empty suit.

Exactly, its a status symbol and what better way to show that we are all slaves than to make the rich/succesful men wear a symbolic noose around their neck?!

Its all about status bro, the succesful men wear a symbolic noose around their neck. People are complete sheeple these days, they dont even question anything about their reality.

My favorite is the guy wearing a suit on an airliner. Yeah, ok, I get it - you're a proud .corp workerbee. But why in the hell are you getting on a cramped plane in the worst possible attire? You can't plan your flights so you have enough time to change? I can!

I think they also invented high heels and bras!
