Great message, and there's certainly concern that the largest stakeholders on any DPOS governance system could form cartels that control the entire chain. Comparing large stakeholders to an effective plutocracy is actually quite accurate. This has been observed. Just look at the former Steem and the exchange cartels on EOS. This doesn't make these people evil, but as you say, if they care about free speech, freedom from the legacy financial system, or true freedom - then it's important for them to act responsibly onchain. Disagree vehemently if you want with ideas, debate them, criticize them but if there are voices you don't like, just mute them and move on. No need to crush them unless they are an existential threat to the ecosystem - which the majority of users are not.
Back to JFK, I recently read a fantastic book by James Elroy-
American Tabloid
It's a piece of historical fiction but it's one of the best 'theories' as to what actually occurred with the JFK assassination.
And the best part is, it's a pleasure to read. It's fast paced and hard hitting.
I highly recommend it, I think you'd appreciate it!

I should read more while I have the time =)
I do hope the largest Hive stakehodlers modify governance such that mere money is not the only impediment to censoring it. It is doomed otherwise.
