Just changed the theme to somthing like the old.reddit.com style, but still there are some issues. One is that there still a lot of space between top and bottom comments. It needs to be more compact. Another thing is that the indent between parent and child comments is too close. I want to be able to differentiate clearly the replies to which comments. It would be great if it's more pronounced, like in hackernews for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36705223

The inability to see sacrifice as inherently enjoyable runs through the Marxist tradition, beginning with Marx himself. He cannot imagine that workers would continue to invest themselves in the capitalist system when the system simply demanded sacrifice from them without any recompense. Marx doesn’t grasp that the very irrationality of the sacrifice can constitute the source of its appeal.
