I don't think you can call it a culture but propaganda to justify their personal greed and neoliberal policies. Basically sociopathy as an ideology for the elite, dressed up as "whatever" for the masses.

It’s really what American “culture” seems like to an outsider.

True, the american dream, liberty, land of opportunity, make your own way, that's why people come. But it's a lie right? So can a lie be a culture? Or is it a mass delusion? Maybe, colonial settlers also went to the US despite knowing how dangerous it is to die on a wagon train (I mean dysentery, not indians haha). So taking a huge risk of catastrophic failure could bee seen as a culture.
