Just the fact that Harmony can see the future doesn't excuse what it does.
It brainwashed Twilight's friends and banished Twilight herself to secure a better future. Even if we accept the "moral algebra" approach that the good outweighs the bad, Harmony is still going to wind up with a depressed Alicorn who lost almost everything she ever earned, even her closest friends, and has to learn to live in an unfamiliar world that only knows her as a monster.
Again.
And the blame rests solely at the roots of the Tree of Harmony. Doing it for "the greater good" doesn't mean it didn't do something unforgivable to multiple ponies. Ponies who served its interests for years, even.
So much for Loyalty, Kindness, and Laughter.
Oh boy more evil Twilight.. Joy.

I agree with your comment. Actually your comment brought back memories of another story....Crossing the Trixie Bridge by EmptyPlotFiller. In this story the context of the Tree of Harmony manipulated EVERYTHING that happened in Equestria is handled.

I personally never liked the Young Six, so......I hope evil Twilight wins
Ooh boy, I get what Harmony is going for, but that pacification effect thing is dodgy at best. I doubt even Gallus would be happy if he found out. And out of curiosity, how exactly could Discord have taken Harmony down with him?

That might be explored in the next story, where we finally time skip 1000 years into the future of the new version of G5.

Can I get a link to that story?

Keep in mind that Harmony only did this in response to Twilight's Unity Crystal Invisibubble plan. Also, it was Gallus and his friends who used Harmony's power to banish Twilight. Basically, Harmony operates like a GPS. When things go wrong, it recalculates and course corrects to the best of its abilities. It doesn't go against its Elements, but it does interpret them in ways that might seem unfair in the short term.
I am not saying this is okay.

Sure, no problem, I just warn you that it is a bit heavy reading.

For the record, I'm interested in where this story goes next, and this is a good read, though a problem I had in the first part is a little more present here: OOC. In the first part, it was justified in my opinion since Twilight's decision in the first place was a bit... odd, to say the least. In this one, though... Sorry, but I don't see why so many people, even if they are Twilight's family, are just blindly following her.
I can understand them wanting to cut ties because I can see them thinking banishing her indefinitely was going too far, and they'd rather she have been imprisoned or turned to stone for a while or something (assuming that was even a possibility) until she could be talked down. However, they seem to be committed to the idea that she was justified in, and this is just ONE of her crimes, FORCING THE DRAGONS, A SPECIES SHE IS NOT EVEN THE RULER OF (Not that it would be okay even IF she was the ruler), TO GO INTO AN EXTENDED SLEEP! Even SPIKE, who by his own admission, did NOT want to say goodbye to people like Gabby!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see Shining Armour OR Cadance going along with this. Now, in the middle of writing this, I realised that it's really only these two who are a problem. Obviously we never saw what Flurry's personality was when she grew up, we only got one movie with Fizzlepop when she was evil, and barely anything of Stygian after he was de-shadowed, so I can't call OOC on any of them- if only for LACK of character. Still, whilst I can buy them bringing Twilight back, I can't imagine them ignoring the fact that she tried to force an entire species into a prolonged sleep. Other than that, this is great.
I'm only at the beginning of the fic so far and I'm scared of how much harmony brainwashed Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Since they agreed so easily that banishing Twilight Sparkle for 1,000 years was the best option.
I have finished reading this work and it should be noted that it is well written. The characters of the canon are generally respected (assuming that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were also brainwashed by harmony, as well as Twilight Sparkle's friends). But I have a serious complaint. Why didn't Discord demand that the harmony tree remove the spell from the main six? Why didn't he take it off himself? Is he ready to move mountains for Fluttershy (literally), and here he just resigned himself to the fact that Harmony brainwashed her? This is at least strange.
In general, it's actually quite nice that the author left Twilight Sparkle as the princess of friendship. She is trying to make sure that in the future she has as many friends and allies as possible. That's why she made an alliance with Opaline and that's why she persuaded her brother Stacks and Tempest to live until her return.
And as I understand it, there will already be G5 events in the next chapter? So there will be Sunny, Hitch, Sprout and others? If this is the case, then they have little chance of winning. Considering their hopeless stupidity, carelessness and mediocrity. Hah! I can see for myself how the tree of harmony is in utter horror and shock at how poor the new carriers of the elements are and how inferior they are to both the Pillars and Sparkle and her friends. But nevertheless, she has a task to somehow make sure that these incompetents win the Greatest hero in the history of Equestria.
Also, do I understand correctly that the Crystal Empire will become a myth in G5? Due to the fact that she has completely severed ties with Equestria, I believe that this will be the case.
Well, besides, I hope that Twilight Sparkle will remain herself (in terms of character, I mean), and not turn into an asshole who doesn't love anyone and wants only power, strength and total control.

Harmony cannot exist without chaos. Like light needs dark
