I've seen the one funeral at a time solution play out, (it's still playing out where i live, inter country conflict).
It is something of a solution, but not much. Those older folk have a long time to poison a new generation, and the ideas which they hold are easy to believe and propagate.
It's only through real leadership and setting exampls which run counter to the narrative, that our hope lies now.
While the old grudges are being laid to rest, the effect is more like reduced signal propagation.

This is definitely possible. But my hope is that the internet has started to change these things. Even someone living in a small rural town can now see what other young people are thinking and be exposed to a more diverse set of ideas.
For example, if you go on Reddit, you can see how people have become atheists after reading about how religion is bunk. Someone who is forced by their parents to go to church every Sunday can find solace in the fact that there are others going through the same thing, and that there are others who have successfully escaped from such situations. I think such communities have the ability to accelerate change among the youth.
