** King Meowmeow is this fully. Contrary to what he says, he's not ruling the kingdom as a PoliceState to protect his people. If he did, he wouldn't create a law against homelessness which is completely unrelated to fear of magic, reject anything that contradicts his anti-magic views, or try to destroy a magical tree (And you do know what happened when Equestria's tree got destroyed). He even says a similar line to Scar (I'm the king. I'll do what I want.) which means he cares only for himself, and nobody else.

** The conflict stems from the Abyssinians being fearful of magic due to the Storm King using it to subjugate their land. But ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyTheMoviePrequel'' showed the Storm King and his forces didn't use magic when invading, and the Storm King's lack of magic drove the plot of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 The Movie]]'' as he sought to acquire magic.
