In the season 2 premiere he was the one the mane-6 were specifically trying to stop who had no interest in friendship at the time and in the season 4 finale he chose to help Tirek (the S4 finales main antagonist) steal energy from all the other ponies because Tirek promised him "something more valuable than friendship". True he learns a lesson after Tirek betrays him but still. Because Discord did not think of any of it as evil, but just for the sake of his own freedom (at the time).
