This is a new chain. No one has been "taken out".
Everyone still has their Steem. People who didn't contribute to destroying Steem and causing a group of volunteers to do a hell of a lot of work just to recover something of value for this community (decentralization) are also getting free Hive. Those who helped destroy Steem (even if they may have, also, supported it, as we all did) are not getting free Hive.
But they have been denied of their rightful stake on that chain by a metric a dictator set because they figured out both sides were dirty and they'd rather sit on the fence?

Forked off chains are new chains, they do not owe anything to users of the original chain. You did not lose anything by not being given free HIVE tokens.

You actually did. Because now, your accounts are on a duplicate chain with all of your past contents. You have the keys to that account and the only thing missing are the coins. You lost something. Naturally, the coins would be yours but you lost it because someone ran a code with the intent to exclude people like you.

No you did not. You DO have a right to demand that your content be removed from their network or even the account to be removed. But you DON'T have a right to own property within that new network.
You have no rights over what chains get generated from the origin chain. If you decided today to make your own fork of Steem and remove me from getting any coins from your new blockchain you did nothing evil or terrible against me. You simply decided not to incentivize me to participate in your new network.
I would clearly not join your new network unless it was somehow so awesome that I just had to join. However, nothing was taken away from you because it was a brand new network that you have no legal rights or claims to.

There is no "rightful stake". All stake on the Hive chain is new and no one has a god-given right to it. Steem coins and stake are unaffected.
