FSFE is not the same as FSF. It's a completely independent organisation.
It's a "sister organization". Laws are different in different parts of the world, so it makes sense to have different "forks" if you wish.

Yes they share many similarities with the FSF, but they are separate, and have some different viewpoints on things. You can't use something they do as an argument as to why FSF is good, when the actual FSF doesn't do that thing. They also dislike RMS, who is also one of @onlinepersona@programming.dev 's arguments against the FSF.
