This is the third time I’ve seen a heavily downvoted comment by you suddenly receive a spur of upvotes. Once is an anomaly, twice is coincidence, but thrice...
There have been multiple people who have noticed similar jumps in karma on comments which are to put it, right-wing. Most of the jumps seem to occur during the late night hours by US time. The person who seems to have benefit the most from them is advancedatheist, and at least three people now other than you have noticed this pattern.
Yeah, I intentionally didn’t phrase my comment in an accusing fashion for just that reason. For the record, I don’t think you have a sockpuppet army either, but the sockpuppet fan theory seems plausible. Note that the grandparent comment was downvoted despite being a merely factual observation, which is mild evidence in favor of that hypothesis. (On the other hand, if it really is one person wielding sockpuppet accounts, it should have gotten more downvotes than that, so eh.) We’ll see if this one gets downvoted as well; if it does, that should be additional evidence.

I notice that I am confused.

I don’t have a sockpuppet army, but I guess it’s possible that I have sockpuppet fans :-/
I don’t pay much attention to karma, anyway.
