This is what most people mean by "blame".
Possibly in the eyes of the future, if there is one, we'll all look like brain-damaged children who aren't morally to blame for much of anything. Our actions still have consequences (for example, they might determine whether humanity has a future).
Blame is not the action of treating someone differently because of their moral choices, it's the rationale for doing so. I think the rationale is incoherent, but the actions still exist.
