Yes, this is another way to pay the tx fee - you mine at cost sufficient to 
overpower the censor. You are spending the block reward in getting your txs 
confirmed, and that’s your fee.

But unless you are mining full blocks of only your own transactions, this 
implies that you are accepting these higher fees on censored txs from others. 
Otherwise you are simply mining at a loss, which we cannot use as a rational 
basis for security.

And therefore this reduces to the simple fact that tx fees are what provides 
censorship resistance, whether you mine your own or others’.
