It’s okay. You won’t be the only one to not see the point.

Mind explaining? I saw it before it was removed, something about 45 degrees?

I’m no expert but using my gcse RE… the Buddhist symbol is an 8 spoked wheel because they follow the eightfold path. (Right views, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration).
360 degree circle \ 8 = 45 degrees

It suddenly dawned on me. OP is referring to the swastika. OP apparently thinks the swastika is a symbol of Buddhism (although actually it's also used by Hindus, Jains, and others to mean various things). It's also a Nazi symbol, but the Nazis depict the swastika rotated 45 degrees compared to when it is used as a religious symbol. So OP is saying he's a Nazi. And that's why the joke was removed.
/u/1ns0mn1a had it right. /r/GaryV83, read this.

Oh never mind then, honestly just thought it was a bad joke about the eightfold path 😅😂

Thank you u/JimDixon for the tag, although I have no idea why I didn't get a notification for it until now. That suddenly makes a lot of sense.

You get notified when someone replies directly to your comment, but when a third person (me) replies to that reply, you don't. I figured you wouldn't be notified; that's why I tagged you.

Yeah, but I've been scrolling through Reddit all day and never got the notification of the tag until about an hour ago. But I appreciate it, regardless.
