see it's interesting to me because I thought it was the way it looks like it should spin that matters, with the Buddhist one looking like it should spin clockwise and the Nazi one looking like it should spin counter clockwise. Is it the 45 degree tilt that makes the big difference?

    It's the direction the legs go. Nazis mirrored the eastern one and then tilted it 45°.

    Its used both 卐 or 卍 ways in different non-nazi examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

    Plenty of modern nazis don't know how to draw it though, so you can never be sure...
