Alteration of objectivism.
This word originated in 1999 on a free ProBoards forum when some diehard randroid came and put a quote relating to Objectivism in her signature. This caused ads for Objectivist dating/sportswear/etc. to appear on every thread---the administrator quickly added "objectivism" to the censored word list and made it so every time she used this word it would become "objectivitism."
Since then, the word has come into widespread use in our community and probably others as well; where I live, you frequently hear people referring to "objectivitism" or "objectivitists" when referring to Ayn Rand's philosophy or her followers, respectively.

Get the objectivitism mug.by Alex Stockwell November 21, 2013
Get the objectivism mug.The philosophy founded by Ayn Rand, which essentially states that one should be rewarded in life based on merit, not on how badly one wants something. This philosophy also perpetuates the idea that one should live one's life for one's own purposes and that one should not place one's goals in other people, and that people who are motivated by a desire to spite, exalt, or out-do other people are shallow with no real ability to cognate. They are properly referred to as second-handers, because they are only able to live at another's expense, or under another's direction. They are truly sad people.
Most of the people on Urban Dictionary who give Ayn Rand and Objectivism bad reviews are suck up socialists or lazy slugs who want their life handed to them by someone else, and do not feel secure in thinking rationally because they do not have the capability of effort to do so.
