"I can't conceive the land not belonging to anyone"
Really? Why? It's not an object you can carry with you, it's not something created, to preceded us all by billions of years and will be there when we are gone, typically only with superficial differences. How can it even be property beyond being defined that way by some laws, let alone ontologically need to be property?
The rest is shit too, but come the fuck on. At least with Mao it hinges on history he is disconnected from. On the question of land, he has had his entire life interacting with it in various ways and he can't even imagine an exception to this axiom of ownership.
A lot of anti-Aboriginal, anti-decolonisation propaganda in this country fearmongers about those people coming and stealing your home from you. Not in a vague sense, in a very direct "An Aboriginal family will be allowed to kick you out of your house and steal it from you if we acknowledge that the land was stolen."
if anyone wants to prime themselves, I'd say do some cursory reading on Native Title and the Mabo case. Once you know these terms, you'll notice brainwormed crackers screeching about them in facebook groups much more than you'd like

It reminds me a little of the toothbrush-stealing canard wrt explaining communism
seriously, it do be like that here.
