It keeps doing this all the time. Does this look like a swastika or is it just me? It's even tilted 45 degrees.

The inverted swastika reprents the opposite of the Nazi swastika. I know this because back home at the Lakeview Cemetary, one small chapel looking building has floors tiled with that inverted swastika. I was a on a tour and people were like "omg swastika" and they're like "no dood it be backwards".

No. The Swastika is the same no matter the direction. It's been used in a number of societies to represent power, the sun, health, wealth, and life.

Not quite, not quite.

The clockwise swastika represents power, strength and good luck. It's not surprising why the Nazis adopted this symbol, they had power, they had strength, and they ended up having quite some luck, for a while.
The swastika is the oldest symbol in the world, found indepedently in dozens of places in the world. Interestingly, in all cultures, it represented more or less the same idea.

The anticlockwise swastika, or the sauvastika, represents bad luck and misfortune.

It's amusing that in recent times people have taken the sauvastika to represent good luck and whatnot, when they're actually cursing themselves with bad luck and misfortune. Well, if thousands of years of various mythology is to go by.

That's only in some cultures though. Throughout the Americas sauvastikas were used as a symbol for the sun.
