Capitalism more fundamentally sculpts an epistemology of truthlessness than any other way of life. It's a form of pseudo-deontology that imagines the NAP as the only moral law, and in doing so makes circumstantially profitable errors of character into reified subjective truths.
Deontology says "Act according to those maxims which one could wish to be universalized". The NAP is universalizable. However, it is not the only such maxim.

Capitalists say things like "It's their property" in respect to irresponsibility, which is ignorant of additional moral requirements outside the NAP

Everything happens with some degree of chance, so irresponsibility sometimes pays off, but that does not make it good. But individual capitalists inevitably become rich by doing irresponsible things on occasion, and then their "truth" becomes that irresponsibility=responsibility
