What exactly is wrong with right wing populism happening in Europe?

Whenever it comes to making an ethnostate in the US, a common response I hear from the left is usually something like "You don't own the land. It was taken from the natives."

Ok.... well, when it comes to the right wing populism in Europe..... what exactly can they say at that point considering the plain fact that white people's country of origin is Europe to begin with? Why shouldn't they have the right to make their country the way they want it, since it's always been a white people's continent?

This is like asking what is wrong with cannibalism in cannibalistic tribes. They've been doing it for so long it is just their way of life. If it's what they want to do, then who is anyone else to say it's a bad thing?

Ethnostate is just intrinsically wrong. Deciding who can live where based on appearance alone. And it really is only appearance.

We are a single species. Race is a construct and arbitrarily defined as skin color. We could just as easily have defined races on hair and eye color as well.

Then... why can't people just come out and tell us that it's bad? Why do people say "You can't claim the US as yours BECAUSE Europeans stole it from natives"?

@MickRogers I'm not making the argument that we can't do an ethnostate because we originally stole the land. Most European land was also stolen from other people's at some point. Very few are the actual original inhabitants. But that is beside the point.

We shouldn't have an ethnostate in the US because ethnostates are wrong. They lack in both logical reasoning as well as human empathy. There just isn't any reason for them.
