In my experience, Brits are wound fairly tightly.  It's a very classist and hierarchical culture.  It's also, I feel, centred around humiliation and looking down on people.  A lot of bullying and teasing going on that lasts well into adulthood.  As in, actual adults worry about being teased or what people will think of them in various ways.  There's also a lot of what I guess could be classified as toxic masculinity (I mean real toxic masculinity, like around drinking, fighting and f*cking).  Guys are very excited to get as drunk as possible and then act like someone out of a London gangster movie.

I'm a Brit and I believe your analysis is 100% spot on: "centred around humiliation and looking down on people".   Your statement is scarily true.

In case anyone's interested, I recently saw this video from a Brit teacher who taught at one of the 'top' girls schools in the UK on what he noticed - even as a Brit I was enlightened by it:
