If you see a consistent tactic abused time and time again that boils down to 'your tribe did something bad to my tribe in the past, and now you must pay for it', the obvious way to fix this is to make sure said tribe doesn't exist anymore.
No more tribe, no more problem.
There is a reason why most lawful civilizations disregard the idea of 'the sins of the father are the sins of the son', yet here we fucking are.
