Hundreds of years of modern civilization have shown that the market doesn't care about morals. So it's strange to witness free market evangelists basically doing nothing but preaching and pointing fingers all day.

Its tolerable of a broad subset of moral systems but this doesnt mean any and everything is conducive to its health.
Markets struggle more as theft becomes a cultural norm. Murder is generally not good for business either.
This is an untrue statement.
"The market" is the aggregation of individual preferences and actions. So the market can only be a reflection of the values of the individuals that participate in it.
If you feel there is a disconnect between "the market" and people's true and actual values, the most likely explanation is that powerful enough actors, mainly the State (as in the fusion between the government and its private corporate cronies) are constantly distorting and thwarting the free flow and development of the market. That, or you're wrong about what people's true and actual values are.
I think it's two thirds the former, and one third the latter. The main problem is the State, but people as a whole are also quite shitty.
hundreds of years of civilisation have shown that absolute morality does not exist, only incentives exist
