Conservatives have become re-reconciled to the idea of some government action. The soul and mind need to be addressed. If government is needed to do those things, it must mean that capitalism is deficient. They say the marketplace is amoral. Capitalists offer whatever is demanded, without regard for its propriety.
People unduly emphasize consumption.
Hollywood caters to people's base instincts. There is a grain of truth here. In a free market, goods and services are tradable as the parties to transactions see fit. But the conservatives' criticism is off the mark. Capitalism doesn't do the things they complain of.
